The LA Clippers, coming off of a couple easier wins, will be tested against the Charlotte Hornets tonight in Staples Center.
The Hornets, who the team is seeing for the first time, are sitting at 19-20 this season, good enough for 7th place in the Eastern Conference. However, that doesn’t necessarily do them justice.
Currently, the team sits at 8th in points per game at 113.0. In fact, if you look at the advanced stats, they actually are nearly mirror images of the Clippers in both offensive and defensive rating and effective field goal percentage.
Clippers:
111.
