The Los Angeles Clippers and Charlotte Hornets lock horns at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday evening in the NBA. The Clippers come into this matchup sitting eighth in the West with a 37-30 record while the Hornets are much worse off down at 14th in the East at 17-49. Here’s our match prediction!

The Clippers come into this contest seeking their third straight win following a 121-98 road victory over the Hawks on Friday. Los Angeles is enjoying a nice uptick in form as they’ve now managed to secure wins in five of their last six appearances.

James Harden and Kawhi Leonard combined for 50 points in the win as the Clips improved their road record to 15-20 on the season. Defense is the name of the game for LAC, who have given up just 106.3 points per game in their last five outings.

Hornets fans were treated to an entertaining 145-134 win for their team over a heavily banged up San Antonio on Friday. Lamelo Ball put up a stellar 27 points and 15 assists in just 29 minutes of action.

This should be an interesting matchup as the Hornets are a sneaky-good defensive team. They rank 15th in the league in opponent points allowed (113.3) and fourth in opponent 3PT% (34.9%).
