Golden State Warriors Betting Preview

The Golden State Warriors have been in great shape as they've won seven of their last nine games overall. However, they will be hoping to bounce back after having their five-game win streak halted by the 76ers in a 126-119 road defeat on Saturday. Stephen Curry led the team with 29 points and 13 assists, Gary Payton added 15 points, seven rebounds and four assists off the bench, Quinten Post scored 16 points while Draymond Green chipped in with 13 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 46 percent from the field and 12 of 42 from the 3-point line. However, they must have looked past the 76ers as they didn't pay much attention to defense in the first half and allowed 37 points in the second quarter to trail by as many as 15 points. The Warriors had no answer for the 76ers' Quentin Grimes who scorched them for a game-high 44 points on 18 of 24 shooting.

Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been in a major slump as they've lost 15 of their last 17 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a six-game slide after getting beaten by the Wizards in a 113-100 home loss on Saturday. Mark Williams led the team with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks on 11 of 14 shooting, LaMelo Ball added 20 points with seven rebounds while Miles Bridges chipped in with 18 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. As a team, the Hornets shot 44 percent from the field and 14 of 42 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and took the lead into halftime. But they couldn't maintain that pace in the second half where they got outscored by 59-41 to lose to the Wizards for the fourth time this season.

Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

The Warriors are still playing without Jonathan Kuminga, but they expect to have Jimmy Butler back in the lineup, while the Hornets are coming in with a full squad once again. The Warriors were on a great run before they got stopped by the lowly 76ers in their last game. The good news is that now they have a chance to bounce back against a slumping Hornets team who they smashed by 128-92 back just last week. The line was always going to be double digits for this matchup, but I am actually surprised it isn't bigger. The Warriors cover with ease in their last matchup, and I think we see a similar result in this spot.
