Premium Pick

This is the fifth straight road game for Golden State, and it's a long way from home. They don't have star Steph Curry (ankle) so they will lean on their defense, allowing .437% shooting, good for best in the NBA. Charlotte struggles on offense at #26 in field goal shooting, #27 in free throws. They focus on defense first, off a 104-94 win over Orlando on Monday, though they shot just 40.5 percent from the floor, including 3-of-17 from three-point range. Some great news is that Kemba Walker scored 29 points after missing two games with a shoulder injury, while center Dwight Howard (15 points per game, 12 rebounds per game) continues to play well manning the middle. Charlotte is 11-5 UNDER the total when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. The Hornets are also 17-8-1 ATS at home against a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Look for a huge effort by the home team in a game with plenty of defensive intensity. Take Charlotte and the UNDER.
