Through 2 Quarters

Down eight at the end of last quarter, the Los Angeles Clippers have now snagged the lead. At halftime neither squad has the game in the bag, but the Clippers lead 61-58 over the Charlotte Hornets.

Power forward Nicolas Batum has led the way so far for Los Angeles, as he has 13 points in addition to three rebounds and two steals. One thing to keep an eye out for is Ivica Zubac’s foul situation as he currently sits at three.

Charlotte has been relying on the performance of point guard LaMelo Ball, who has 17 points and two assists along with four boards. Ball has also picked up three fouls, though.

What to Know

The Charlotte Hornets haven’t won a game against the Los Angeles Clippers since Nov. 18 of 2017, but they’ll be looking to end the drought on Sunday. Charlotte is on the road again on Sunday and plays against Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET Nov. 7 at Staples Center. The Hornets are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 117.4 points per contest.

Charlotte has to be hurting after a devastating 140-110 loss at the hands of the Sacramento Kings this past Friday. Charlotte was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 74-53. Small forward Miles Bridges had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with ten points on 4-for-14 shooting in his 37 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles took their matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves this past Friday by a conclusive 104-84 score. The oddsmakers were on the Clippers’ side, but they didn’t give the squad enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide. The top scorers for Los Angeles were small forward Paul George (21 points) and point guard Reggie Jackson (20 points).

Los Angeles’ victory lifted them to 4-4 while Charlotte’s defeat dropped them down to 5-5. We’ll see if Los Angeles can repeat their recent success or if Charlotte bounces back and reverse their fortune.
