What's the cure for a team that has lost eight games in a row? Well, it's probably not a date at the Staples Center against the Los Angeles Lakers, which the Charlotte Bobcats have on Tuesday night.
The biggest stars hit the hardwood. Bet on the NBA at Bovada Sportsbook.
The Bobcats ran their losing streak to eight games on Saturday, falling 102-99 at home to the Washington Wizards. Kemba Walker was the bright spot for Charlotte in that contest, assembling a triple double with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists.
Byron Mullins added 23 points off the bench for Charlotte in that loss to the Wizards, while Boris Diaw was good for 21 points and 10 assists in the contest.
The Bobcats are now 3-18 straight up and 7-14 against the spread on the season, while the Lakers are 12-9 straight up and 9-12 against the spread after beating the Timberwolves 106-101 in Minnesota on Sunday.
Kobe Bryant poured in 35 points and added 14 boards for Los Angeles in that win over the T-Wolves, with Pau Gasol adding 28 points, and Andrew Bynum contributing 21 points and seven rebounds.
The Lakers beat the Bobcats 92-84 at home as a 12.5-point favorite when the teams last met last March, but overall Los Angeles has had surprisingly little success against Charlotte recently – they're just 3-7 SU and an ugly 1-9 ATS in the past 10 meetings.
The last time Los Angeles managed to cover the spread in a game against Charlotte was back in February 2008, when they won 106-97 as an 8.5-point road favorite in an UNDER result. The OVER/UNDER sits at 4-6 over their past 10 matchups.
