The Golden State Warriors (3-2, 2-3 ATS, 5-0 O/U) take on the Charlotte Hornets (2-2, 3-1 ATS, 4-0 O/U) in an inter-conference battle on Saturday night. The Warriors posted a home win against the Heat on Thursday. The Hornets lost to the Knicks on Wednesday before playing in Orlando on Friday night. Each team earned one win in last year’s season series.
The Golden State Warriors begin a long road trip in this one. They lost their only road game in an ugly 134-105 defeat to the Suns last weekend. Golden State was labeled six-point favorites in a solid 123-110 home win against the Heat on Thursday night. The Warriors have been outstanding offensively but are having some trouble defensively early this season. They have only covered the spread in two games.
Stephen Curry has been stellar, reaching the 30-point mark four times already this season. The 34-year-old star point guard scored 33 points in Thursday’s win and is sporting an average of 30.8 PPG on 48.6% shooing. Curry averaged 19.5 points in the two meetings against the Hornets last year. Klay Thompson is taking some time to find a groove. The 32-year-old shooting guard has posted a poor 31% mark from three-point land. Thompson has scored 19 or fewer points in each game and has logged an average of 12.6 PPG
Jordan Poole enjoyed a stellar breakout 2021-2022 season, recording 18.5 PPG. The 23-year-old has reached 20 points once so far this season and enters with an average of 14.2 PPG. Draymond Green isn't a big scorer but features a dazzling 60% field goal efficiency. The 32-year-old power forward has logged 9.6 PPG and 5.4 APG.
