Prediction

The Hornets rely too heavily on their starting players for offense. If the starters struggle with their shooting or tire out, the team’s offense tends to stagnate. Additionally, their defense has weaknesses and cannot effectively limit their opponents’ scoring. Looking back at the last four regular-season matchups between these two teams, the Warriors have won all of them, including a dominant 36-point victory in their first meeting this season. This game favors the Warriors to secure a convincing road win against the Hornets.

Pick: Warriors -12.5 (bet365)
