How to Watch Hornets at Lakers: Stream NBA Live, TV Channel

Luka Doncic leads the Los Angeles Lakers against LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.

It is fitting coming out of All-Star break and the trade deadline that preceded it that the only game on the NBA schedule on Wednesday is between the Los Angeles Lakers (32-20) and Charlotte Hornets (13-39). During the final 24 hours of the trade deadline Los Angeles agreed to trade rookie Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish and two first round picks for Mark Williams. The trade gave Los Angeles a center to play with LeBron James, Austin Reaves and the newly acquired Luka Doncic, but was rescinded after Williams reportedly failed a physical. Now the players go back to their original teams for the second and final game of the season between Los Angeles and Charlotte.

In the first game Los Angeles jumped out to a monster 39-19 lead in the first quarter that set up a 112-107 win. That was Anthony Davis’ last full game in a Los Angeles uniform. He dominated Charlotte with 42 points and 23 rebounds on 17-of-28 shooting in the win.

Since then Los Angeles has gone 6-2 overall, traded Davis for Doncic, had the Williams trade rescinded and the whole team took a week off to bond and rest heading into the final stretch of the season.

Also during this stretch James has been incredible. He is averaging 28.1 points, 9.1 assists and 8.6 rebounds per game with three 30-plus point games and a triple-double over the last seven games. In two games with Doncic so far James is averaging 21.0 points, 7.5 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game.
