Lakers Vs. Hornets Preview And TV Info: After Tough Loss To Rockets, Slowing Kemba Walker Will Be The Priority

The Los Angeles Lakers will try to bounce back after a tough loss to James Harden and the Houston Rockets when they take on Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets.

The Lakers will have another tough individual assignment to focus on, as Walker is currently playing the best basketball of his career in almost every way. Through 28 games, Walker is averaging career highs in points, rebounds and assists.

While the Hornets are just 14-14, it’s good enough for sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Walker has long been All-Star caliber, but his play this season, coupled with a possible playoff berth, could finally put him into the next tier of players.
