KEY GAME INFORMATION
LA LAKERS: LAST SEASON: 35-47, missed playoffs.
COACH: Luke Walton (third season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Rajon Rondo (8.3 ppg, New Orleans), G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (13.4 ppg), F Brandon Ingram (16.1 ppg), F LeBron James, (27.5 ppg, Cleveland), C JaVale McGee (4.8 ppg, Golden State).
KEY LOSSES: F Julius Randle, G Isaiah Thomas, C Brook Lopez
KEY ADDITIONS: James, Rondo, McGee, G Lance Stephenson, F Michael Beasley
PLAYERS TO WATCH: The biggest star in basketball joined this glamorous franchise as a free agent. After appearing in eight straight NBA Finals and winning three titles, the 33-year-old James accepted the challenge of starting over on the West Coast with several fellow veteran newcomers and a fairly talented young Lakers core. His ability to get the most out of this mix will be one of the NBA's most compelling story lines.
OUTLOOK: James' ability to carry a team is unquestionable, and he arguably succeeded with less help in Cleveland than he should get from these Lakers. No serious observers believe the Lakers can compete with Golden State or join Houston and Boston as true contenders for the Warriors' throne, but ending the Lakers' franchise-record five-year playoff drought would be a promising start to the LeBron era in LA.
CHARLOTTE: LAST SEASON: 36-46, missed playoffs.
COACH: James Borrego (first season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Kemba Walker (22.1 ppg), G Jeremy Lamb (12.9 ppg), G Nicolas Batum (11.6 ppg), F Marvin Williams (9.5 ppg), C Cody Zeller (7.6 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: C Dwight Howard, G Treveon Graham
KEY ADDITIONS: G Tony Parker, C Bismack Biyombo, F Miles Bridges
PLAYERS TO WATCH: The Hornets added 17-year veteran Parker to bolster their second team and to play down the stretch of tight games alongside Walker, a two-time All-Star and the team's best player. Lamb is expected to replace former No. 2 overall pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in the starting lineup, although second-year guard Malik Monk could push him for that job. Zeller regains his starting job after Howard was traded, a move that may prove to be addition by subtraction. Borrego is expecting big things from Batum, who should have a bounce back season playing with close friend and fellow Frenchman Parker.
OUTLOOK: The Hornets should compete for a playoff spot in the East, where mediocrity reigns. Their starting lineup isn't any better than it was a year ago, but they're much deeper this season and there shouldn't be as much drop off as last season when it comes to the second team. Charlotte will play an up-tempo game under Borrego, a former assistant with the Spurs. In fact, the Hornets have been working with a 12-second shot clock in practice to get used to playing at a faster pace. Rebounding could be an issue with Howard gone.
PREVIEW
Rested Lakers, James take on Hornets
 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- LeBron James gets the bonus of a scheduling advantage as he seeks to win for the 18th time in his career in Charlotte when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Hornets on Saturday night.

Having gotten steamrolled by James Harden's 50-point triple-double in a 126-111 loss at Houston on Thursday, the Lakers enjoyed the advantage of relaxing in Charlotte on Friday night while the Hornets were working overtime with the New York Knicks on the front end of a back-to-back.

Charlotte wound up with nothing to show for its 53 minutes of fast-paced ball, losing 126-124 to the Knicks on the Hornets' home floor.

James already has endured six back-to-backs this season and hasn't missed any of the Lakers' 28 contests. The 33-year-old is tied for 10th in the NBA in average minutes played at 35.0.

James has worked an average of 38.1 minutes in his last 15 games against the Hornets, including at least 36 minutes in each of his last four visits to Charlotte, all of which his team (the Cleveland Cavaliers at the time) won.

He's gone 17-5 in North Carolina for the Cavaliers and Miami Heat over the past 14 seasons, scoring 30 or more points 10 times and 35 or more four times, with a high of 41 in a 118-105 win last March.

Due to his move to the Western Conference this season, Saturday's meeting will be James' only outing of the season at Charlotte. The Hornets will visit Los Angeles in March.

A member of James' new supporting cast in Los Angeles is longtime nemesis Lance Stephenson, who went head-to-head with the superstar twice while a member of the Hornets in 2015, helping "limit" him to 27 and 25 points.

Stephenson played just one season for the Hornets, averaging 8.2 points as a part-time starter (25 starts).

The veteran has accepted a role off the bench now that he's joined forces with James and has found a niche, having scored in double figures eight times, including 17 in the loss at Houston.

"Be in attack mode," Stephenson told reporters of his game plan after Thursday's game. "Play together, talk on defense. We've been doing a great job."

So had the Hornets before letting one get away on Friday night. Charlotte had opened a five-game homestand with Wednesday's dramatic, 108-107 victory over the Detroit Pistons for a third straight victory.

But the Hornets failed to make it four in a row against the Knicks despite a well rounded attack that featured 21-point performances from Cody Zeller and Nicolas Batum, and a 20-pointer from Marvin Williams.

However, the usually dependable Kemba Walker missed 14 of his 20 shots, including nine of his 13 3-point attempts, on a 14-point night. His was off the mark on a 3-pointer with 8.2 seconds left in regulation, prompting overtime.

The Hornets are hoping a visit from James can deflect some attention from team owner Michael Jordan, who made national news at the end of Wednesday's win when he slapped Malik Monk on the back of the head for getting a late technical foul.

"I guess you can understand the response," Hornets coach James Borrego noted to reporters before Friday's game. "Michael can create some headlines, I guess."
