Game 40: Charlotte Hornets vs LA Clippers

7:30 PM PST/10:30 PM EST on Tuesday, January 8th

The Charlotte Hornets also enter this season under new coaching as former San Antonio Spurs Assistant James Borrego was handed the keys to right the ship for Charlotte.

The key for the Clippers in this one is throwing guards Patrick Beverley and Avery Bradley and shutting down Point Guard Kemba Walker.

Again just like the Magic, you cannot count out any team in the Association. The Clippers will need to come in with a strong game mindset in order to take care of business against these Hornets.

The Hornets have re-tooled this Off-season with the departure of Dwight Howard while also adding Small Forward Miles Bridges (who the Clippers actually drafted before giving up him and two second-round picks for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander).

If the Clips can contain Kemba Walker from exploding and taking advantage on the offensive end, then they should be able to put this game to bed early.
