NBA Reddit Stream Alternatives: Charlotte Hornets vs LA Lakers live stream options - March 18th

The surging Charlotte Hornets take on the injury-plagued LA Lakers at the Staples Center tonight in their first matchup of the 2020-21 NBA season.

LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets have been on a roll, winning four of their last five games. Their recent form has propelled the Hornets to 5th place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 20-19 record. Ball, the rookie sensation, is averaging 18.2 points, 5.7 assists, and 5.3 rebounds in March (six games).

The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a lopsided defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets in their previous matchup. James Borrego's side will be hungry to get back on the winning track in this enticing fixture as they endeavor to solidify their place in the top eight teams in the East.

Meanwhile, the reigning champs the LA Lakers have tipped off the second half of their season with a bang. The Purple and Gold are on a three-game winning streak heading into this matchup.

LeBron James registered two triple-double performances in each of their last two outings to bring his career triple-double count to 99. His next one will make King James the 5th player in league history to reach this milestone (100 triple-doubles). LeBron is coming off a 25-point outing in which he also added 12 boards and as many assists as the LA Lakers bested the Minnesota Timberwolves 137-121.
