When and where can you catch this NBA game? Here is information about the list of broadcasters.
The Los Angeles Clippers have underperformed since the beginning of the year. They have lost four of their last five games, with all the losses coming away from home. However, they are currently on a three-game winning streak at home. Norman Powell has been putting together an All-Star-like scoring campaign whereas James Harden has been an effective Floor Manager despite his shooting struggles. Ivica Zubac has been stellar but overall, they lack the chops to become an automatic playoffs qualifier without their ace Kawhi Leonard.
The Hornets have continued to be one of the worst teams in the league. Their never-ending rebuild has once again left their fans down and out. The Hornets have one of the worst offenses(29th in points per game with 106.1 PPG). Their scoring struggles imply a lack of depth as they are wasting yet another stellar year from franchise centerpiece LaMelo Ball. They have lost 18 out of their last 20 games, and will likely finish among the bottom-five squads yet again.
The Playoffs aim to provide the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.
