Oddsmakers currently have the Hornets listed as 4-point favorites versus the Lakers, while the game’s total is sitting at 204½.

The two-year, $18-million contract Jordan Hill signed over the summer is beginning to look like one of the few good investments Los Angeles has made lately. Hill, who came to the Lakers without much fanfare in a deal that sent the popular Derek Fisher to Houston 2 ½ years ago, has been a monster so far this season, averaging 14.8 points and 9.2 rebounds. The key is whether he can keep up that pace.

The Lakers were a 112-106 loser in their most recent outing at home against the Suns. They earned a push of the +6-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (218) made winners of OVER bettors.

Team record: 0-5 SU,1-3-1 ATS

Gerald Henderson was third on Charlotte in scoring last season, but the sixth-year shooting guard has been passed up by Gary Neal and P.J. Hairston as backups to Stephenson at shooting guard. For the first time since his rookie season, Henderson did not get in the game Friday night even though he was healthy and available. Neal scored 23 points off the bench and Hairston had a solid stat line of four points, three rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes.

Charlotte was a 122-119 winner in its last match at home against the Hawks. They covered the -1.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 241 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.

Team record: 3-3 SU,3-3 ATS
Charlotte is 3-7 SU in its last 10 games

Oddsmakers currently have the Raptors listed as 13-point favorites versus the 76ers, while the game’s total is sitting at 201½.

Toronto has been one of the most efficient offensive teams in the league in large part because of outstanding guard play from DeRozan (22.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists) and Lowry (18.5 points, six assists, 4.8 rebounds). The backcourt play is also the key to Toronto’s average of 9.3 turnovers, the lowest in the league. Power forward Amir Johnson is nursing an ankle injury, but the Raptors have some depth inside with Jonas Valanciunas (11.2 points, 7.6 rebounds) and Patrick Patterson, James Johnson and Tyler Hansbrough all capable of giving the team quality minutes in the post.

Toronto won its last outing, a 103-84 result against the Wizards on November 7. The Raptors covered in that game as a -4-point favorite, while the 187 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

Team record: 5-1 SU,5-1 ATS
Current Streak: won 3 straight games.
Toronto is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games
Toronto is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Toronto’s last 7 games
Toronto is 3-5-2 ATS in its last 10 games at home

Things have gone from very bad to much worse for Philadelphia thanks to injuries to star point guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder), rookie center Joel Embiid (foot) and power forward Nerlens Noel (ankle), among others. The short-handed lineup has left third-year guard Tony Wroten (22.5 points, seven assists) carrying the load for the offensive, and he has topped 20 points in five of six games including four straight. Although they haven’t broken through yet, the Sixers have been close the past two games, losing to Orlando on a buzzer-beater Wednesday and falling to Chicago 118-115 on Friday.

In their last action, Philadelphia was a 118-115 loser at home against the Bulls. They covered the +10-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (233) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

Team record: 0-6 SU,3-3 ATS
Current Streak: lost 6 straight games.
Philadelphia is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games
Philadelphia is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games
Philadelphia is 2-18 SU in its last 20 games on the road

Oddsmakers currently have the Pistons listed as 4½-point favorites versus the Jazz, while the game’s total is sitting at 195.

Detroit has done a good job of taking care of the ball, as its average of 12 turnovers is the fifth-fewest in the league, and it has six players averaging double-digit points and another on the cusp. Consistency has been the issue, not only with enigmatic forward Josh Smith (14.2 points, 7.8 rebounds), who is shooting 32.1 percent, but also with the perimeter players. The Pistons were a horrendous 14-of-64 from 3-point range while losing their first three games but have heated up from outside and gone 22-of-46 from behind the arc during their consecutive wins.

Last time out for Detroit, they were a 98-95 winner as they battled the Bucks at home. The Pistons failed to cover in the match as a -5-point favorite, while 193 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

Team record: 2-3 SU,0-5 ATS
Detroit is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games
Detroit is 2-7 SU in its last 9 games
The total has gone OVER in 10 of Detroit’s last 15 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Detroit’s last 5 games

Utah has allowed 100 or more points in five of its six games and is allowing opponents to shoot 48.2 percent from the field, so it’s no coincidence its two wins have come in its two best defensive efforts. Offense has not been a problem, with Gordon Hayward (18 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists) leading a group of six double-digit scorers. The Jazz need more consistency from power forward Derrick Favors, though, as he was limited to six points for the second time in three games against Dallas after scoring a career-high 32 on Nov. 1 against Phoenix and posted a double-double against the Cavaliers.

In their last action, Utah was a 105-82 loser at home against the Mavericks. They failed to cover the +2.5-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (187) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.

Team record: 2-4 SU,3-3 ATS
Utah is 7-14-3 ATS in its last 24 games
Utah is 5-20 SU in its last 25 games
Utah is 1-9 SU in its last 10 games on the road
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Utah’s last 7 games on the road
