LA Clippers vs Charlotte Hornets preview
The LA Clippers are looking to extend their winning streak to three games after back-to-back victories to start their four-game road trip. The Clippers have not been great since the All-Star break but have had enough momentum to keep the New Orleans Pelicans away from the No. 4 spot in the West.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets are just trying to be disruptors to end the regular season. The Hornets have only 18 wins this season but recently took down the Cleveland Cavaliers, which could affect the seedings in the East. They could do the same in the West if they upset the Clippers.
