Hornets at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 116, Hornets 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The profit isn't worth the risk on the Warriors (-1000), who are 8-2 in their last 10 games, to beat a Charlotte team that is 6-20 on the road this season.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +12.5 (-105).

The Hornets are on a 4-game winning streak and covered in 6 of their last 7 games, including each of their last 4, all as underdogs. They are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games as a 9.5-point or more underdog. At 12.5 points, this spread is too large to bet against a streaking Charlotte team.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 228.5 (-110).

The Under is 8-1-1 in the last 10 meetings between these franchises dating back to February 2019.

Charlotte has hit the Under in each of its last 3 games and 4 of its last 5. It has allowed 107 or fewer points in each of its last 4 and scored 115 or fewer in each of its last 5.

Golden State has hit the Under in 7 of its last 10 and has allowed 112 or fewer in 6 of its last 8 overall.
