November 9th vs Charlotte Hornets

Before the Lakers and Hornets meet, Los Angeles will have five days off while the Hornets will play their fifth game in seven days. The Hornets made their presence felt in the first round of last years playoffs, and this season they’ve upgraded their roster with the acquisition of Lance Stephenson. However there’s no player in the NBA that can defeat fatigue – players ultimately need rest. In this contest, the Hornets won’t have much of it.

It will take more than Stephenson blowing in Kobe Bryant’s ear to knock the Lakers off course. The Hornets will undoubtedly be tired, and with the Lakers well rested it should make for an easy win.
