Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets NBA Picks, Odds, Predictions 11/3/2021

The Charlotte Hornets and the Golden State Warriors do battle at the Chase Center on Wednesday night.

The Charlotte Hornets have been in great shape as they’ve won five of their first eight games, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after falling just short to the Cavaliers in a 113-110 home loss on Monday. LaMelo Ball led the team with 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists, Terry Rozier added 23 points, PJ Washington scored 18 points off the bench while Miles Bridges tallied 13 points with nine rebounds and eight assists. As a team, the Hornets shot just 41 percent from the field and 15 of 39 from the 3-point line as they fell into a massive hole after allowing 40 points in the first quarter, before rallying in the fourth quarter to come up just short in the end. Bridges will be kicking himself after shooting just four of 18 from the field and one of seven from the 3-point line.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been on a tear lately as they’ve won five of their first six games and they will be looking to stay hot after blowing past the Thunder in a 103-82 win on Saturday. Stephen Curry led the team with 20 points and six assists, Draymond Green racked up 14 points with 11 rebounds and eight assists while Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole each scored 14 points. As a team, the Warriors shot 42 percent from the field and an impressive 21 of 54 from the 3-point line, but their defense meant that they were never really challenged as they kept the Thunder to just 34 percent shooting for the game.

Looking at the betting trends, the Hornets are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games, 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning record and 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a loss. The Warriors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games, 4-0 ATS in their last four games against a team with a winning record and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall.

Head to head, the under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings in Golden State and the under is 7-1 in the last eight meetings overall.

The Hornets were looking real good before getting ambushed by the Cavaliers in their last outing, so they will surely come out firing to avoid another bad start. The Warriors have hit the ground running this season, they just made light work of the Thunder and haven’t player since Saturday in a game where their starters were rested early. The Warriors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games and I think that trend continues here as the Warriors get the win and cover.
