Charlotte Hornets vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

The Warriors are 5-1 SU and ATS since getting Jimmy Butler, and they’re at home with the rest advantage. The Hornets lost a bet or something and will play an eighth straight road game. Obviously the all-star break split things up, but this is still a lot of traveling and sleeping in hotels. At the end of a back-to-back, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a Hornets team that just wants to go home already. Last night's game against the Kings was ugly and resulted in a 42-point loss. Massive line, but give me the Warriors.
