Warriors vs Hornets Betting Pick
This game will be played at Spectrum Center at 7:00 PM ET on Saturday, October 29, 2022.
Why Bet The Hornets:
✅ The Warriors defense is still in the bottom-five in the NBA in points allowed so far this season. They have given up 121.2 points per game to their opponents so far. That is not going to get the job done against a Hornets team that is more than capable of putting up points even when shorthanded.
✅ While the Warriors are a much better team on paper, the Hornets have had the upper hand against them in Charlotte of late. The Hornets have won three straight games against the Warriors at home, including last season during the Warriors’ run to the championship. Even with the Hornets dealing with injury issues, they have a chance to extend that streak to four games here.

✅ The Warriors have not won a road game yet this season. They are 3-1 at home, but 0-1 on the road after getting blown out by the Phoenix Suns. Charlotte is not going to blow the Warriors out in this game, and they may not even win this one. But they will keep it within single digits to cover the spread.
Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors put on a show in the second half against the Miami Heat in their last game. Steve Kerr’s team pulled away from the runners up in the Eastern Conference from last season, after withstanding the best punch the Heat had for nearly three quarters. Here, the Warriors will look for a win that will keep them above .500 for the season in Charlotte.
For the Warriors to do that, they will need to win their first road game of the 2022-23 NBA season. Golden State’s early season schedule has been front loaded with home games, which has helped them get off to a fast start. However, it has not adequately prepared them for road games like this one, even if the championship experience of this Warriors team will have them ready to go here.
Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets are in an interesting place early in the NBA season. On one hand, their roster has plenty of talent when everyone is healthy. But with injuries to LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier, they are not where they need to be to contend. With trade rumors swirling around the injured Rozier, the rest of the Hornets will aim to score an upset win over the Hornets on Saturday night.
For the Hornets to do that, the obvious thing they need to do in this contest is defend the three-point line. Charlotte’s defense is far from the best in the league, and Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are more than capable of making them pay for any lapses, making defense massively important here.
