Lakers News: How To Watch LA-Hornets Tonight

Can the Lakers end their skid?

Coming off of 6 losses in their last 8 games and now sitting at 16-15, the Lakers are in turmoil entering a tough slate of games including matchups with Minnesota, New Orleans, Miami, Memphis, and the LA Clippers in the next couple of weeks. 

Luckily for them, they'll square off with the Charlotte Hornets tonight at Crypto.com Arena. 

The 7-21 Hornets are yet again at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, having dealt with injuries to star guard LaMelo Ball along with center Mark Williams. 

Neither of those two are expected to play tomorrow, making for what should be smooth sailing for the Lakers. 

That said, only a couple of matchups all season have come easy for LA, and the Hornets have regularly been losing by fairly thin margins. This means they might be a little better than their record suggests.

Here's how to watch this game: 

Date: December 28, 2023 

Location: Crypto.com Arena

Broadcast: Local TV: Spectrum SportsNet, Bally Sports SE-CHA

Radio: SiriusXM ESPN LA 710/1330 KWKWWFNZ 92.7 FM

It'd be really surprising if LA loses this game, but the main takeaways around it will be if the starting lineup looks any different, how Darvin Ham does his rotations, and more broadly, if there's much to be optimistic about going forward.
