The Golden State Warriors take on the Charlotte Hornets Saturday with the defending champions hoping to grab another win on the season. The Hornets will once again be without LaMelo Ball and likely won't have Terry Rozier either.
The Warriors are 10-point favorites according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 233.5.
Warriors vs. Hornets, 7 p.m. ET
Pick ATS: Hornets +10
The Warriors should win this game with superior talent and fresher legs. Charlotte doesn't have a good answer for Stephen Curry and is coming off a tough game Friday. However, a 10-point spread this early in the season is simply too much to bank on. Take the Hornets to cover in a loss.
Over/Under: Under 233.5
Golden State will lock in defensively and Charlotte will be a bit fatigued after a game Friday. With Ball and Rozier out, the Hornets don't have enough scoring to push the over on this total. I expect the Warriors to be methodical here as well, which should help the under hit.
