Warriors vs Hornets Prediction & Pick
Even without stars like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the court, the Warriors stayed true to their identity by launching a ton of three-point shots in their opening loss. Quinones went 5-of-8 from beyond the arc as the ball was spread from player to player with a quickened pace.
That pace is going to be something the Hornets will have to adjust to, as they only tallied 11 points in the first quarter against the Spurs. Miller failed to get much help from his teammates as Charlotte only shot 39.4% from the floor. That is a concerning factor against a t eam that can shoot the lights out.
I'll back the Warriors in an upset as their ability to reliably knock down shots will make a huge impact.
Final Score Prediction:'Warriors: 92 | Hornets: 88
Warriors vs Hornets Best Bet
The Warriors are not afraid to shoot early in the shot clock if an opportunity to score is there and their defense is subpar, to say the least. That was clear when they combined with the Kings for 194 points. Meanwhile, the Hornets shot horribly on Monday and still found themselves i n a game with 175 total points. That makes backing the Over the way to go as you can expect easy buckets all over the place.
