Result: Win
The set-up: The 41-7 Golden State Warriors responded to a Jan. 6 home loss to the Grizzlies with five consecutive wins at Oracle Arena. The most recent three have been routs of the Cavaliers (35 points), the Thunder (21) and the Clippers (46). The 23-26 Charlotte Hornets come to Oakland tonight but come into the contest on a five-game losing streak while also losing 10 of their last 13.
Charlotte: The Hornets began a tough five-day, three-game Western swing with 115-98 loss at Portland last night. Charlotte has now lost eight straight on the road, last winning away from home back on Dec. 28th, winning at Orlando.The Warriors won the past five meetings between the two teams, including a 113-103 victory last week (Jan. 28) in Charlotte. Kemba Walker (23.3-4.1-5.5) is an All Star and seven other Charlotte players contribute between 9.0 and 14.9 PPG. That group is led by Batum, who averages 7.4 RPG and 6.0 APG along with his 14.9 points.
Golden State: Curry pleased fans in his hometown of Charlotte with a 28-point, six-assist performance when the Warriors beat the Hornets 113-103 in Charlotte back on Jan. 28. The homecoming included being honored by both his high school (Charlotte Christian) and college (Davidson). Curry (2.0-4.3-6.1) has scored 20 or more points in 13 consecutive games before sitting out Golden State's win at Portland on Sunday due to an illness. The 13-game stretch included 40- and 43-point games. KD (26.3-8.4-4.7) and Thompson (21.1) give Golden St. three 21-point scorers and then there is the do-everything Green (10.4-8.4-7.4).
The pick: The Warriors rank first in the league in points scored (118.0) and FG percentage (50.1) and in going 21.3 SU here at Oracle Arena, are averaging 122.1 PPG. The Hornets gave up 113 to the Warriors back in Charlotte and won't get away that easily, here. Meanwhile, the Hornets have so much depth, as besides the eight players averaging nine-plus PPG, Hawes chips in 7.4, Sessions 6.3 and Hibbert 5.2. The Over is a 10* play.
