To me this is one of those "don't over-think it" type games. Charlotte has been a disapointment this season, but no points to cover and home court advantage against the lowely Clippers who happen to be at the end of a long 7 game road trip.?. The Clippers have an advantage in a few key stats, but that's where the over-thinking comes in. Just take Charlotte and let the basketball gods take care the rest.
CHA is very beat up right now
