The Los Angeles Lakers will try to avoid their second three-game losing streak Wednesday night when they travel to take on the New Orleans Hornets at 8:00 pm ET.

The Lakers have won seven straight regular-season meetings over the Hornets (5-11) as they try to improve upon a 1-2 mark in the second half of games on consecutive nights.

The Lakers are playing their second game of a back-to-back after coming off a 107-105 loss to the Houston Rockets in which they led by as many as 17 points and was up 13 in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers gave up 34 in the final period against the Rockets. Dwight Howard did not have a shot attempt in the fourth Tuesday as Houston intentionally fouled him, and he made 8 of 16 free throws overall.

Veteran Antawn Jamison had 15 points and nine rebounds in Gasol's place in the starting lineup Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Hornets remain without top overall draft pick Anthony Davis, who has missed the last eight games with a left ankle injury.

The Hornets are continuing a five-game homestand in which they lost the first two games before cruising to Monday's 102-81 rout of Milwaukee. New Orleans turned in its second-best shooting performance at 52.4 percent and also its second-best effort in field-goal percentage defense at 38.2.
