Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets 12/4/19 NBA Betting Odds and Pick

The Golden State Warriors head to North Carolina on Wednesday night to take on the Charlotte Hornets at the Spectrum Center.

This is a game between two teams who are looking to reverse their fortunes. The Warriors have won just once in their last seven games while the Hornets have won just twice in their last 10 assignments. Golden State is still dealing with injuries to its key players while the Hornets have struggled to close out games. Charlotte defeated Golden State 93-87 in their meeting last November 2, 2019.

The Struggles Continue

The Golden State Warriors’ struggles continue. With their loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, the Warriors are now in sole possession of the worst record in the league at 4-18 SU on the season. The loss was Golden State’s sixth in their last seven games and the Dubs scored just 70 points against the NBA’s second-worst defense.

Eric Paschall leads the Warriors in scoring at 17.3 points per game. Willie Cauley-Stein is Golden State’s key man on defense at 6.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while also scoring 7.5 points per game. Draymond Green is having an underwhelming season with 8.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.

The Warriors are 25th in the league in scoring at 105.5 points per game. They are 22nd off the glass at 43.6 boards grabbed per contest and 15th in passing at 24.0 assists per game. Golden State is giving up the 6th most points per game this season at 115.1 points per game allowed.

Two Game Losing Streak

The Charlotte Hornets have won just twice in their last nine games and head to this encounter with a two-game losing streak. The Hornets are coming off a Monday loss to the Phoenix Suns where they lost a seven-point lead in the final minute to lose the game 104-109 to drop to 8-14 on the season.

Devonte Graham leads Charlotte in scoring at 18.0 points per game. He is also the team’s top rebounder at 7.7 boards per contest. Terry Rozier is scoring 17.3 points and issuing 4.1 assists per game. Miles Bridges, PJ Washington, and Cody Zeller are also scoring in double figures.

The Hornets rank 26th in the league in scoring at 105.4 points per game and they are next to last in rebounding at 41.8 boards grabbed per contest. Charlotte is also 16th in passing at 24.0 assists per game and they are giving up the 10th most points per game at 113.8 points per outing.

Who Wins?

Golden State is 2-13 SU in their last 15 games played. The Warriors are 0-5 SU in their last five games played on the road. Charlotte is 2-7 SU in their last nine games played. The Hornets are 4-6 SU in their last 10 games played at home. Head to head, the Warriors are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games played against the Hornets. Golden State is also 5-0 SU in their last five road games played against Charlotte.

The Warriors have spiraled to the bottom of the league with their loss to the Hawks on Monday. They have won just once in their last seven games played. D’Angelo Russell has been upgraded to questionable for this game but there’s no guarantee he will play. The Dubs got Kevon Looney back but Draymond Green didn’t play last Monday due to a heel injury.

The Hornets suffered another late-game collapse in their latest loss of the season. Charlotte was up seven with a minute left but lost to the Suns on Monday. Despite that, they played well early, climbing from a 20-point deficit to take the lead late in the game. The Hornets haven’t been too consistent this season but the Warriors have been worse.

Golden State has won just twice in 11 road games played this season and they are on the road again on Wednesday night. The Dubs were blown out by the Hawks in their last outing and the Hawks are just as bad as them this season. I don’t like the Hornets this season but between them and the Dubs, Charlotte is the lesser evil.

Charlotte is 3-6 ATS in their last nine games played. The Hornets are 5-5 ATS in 10 home games played this season, 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games against the Pacific Division, and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games played in December.

Golden State just lost to the Hawks who had lost 10 straight before their matchup. With that loss, the Dubs now are officially the worst team in the league. Charlotte has its problems, as they have trouble closing out games. Golden State is 1-8 ATS in their last nine Wednesday games. This one looks headed that direction too.

The total has gone under in four out of the last five games played by the Warriors. Golden State has seen the total go under in five out of their last six games against the Eastern Conference. The total has gone over in five out of the last six games played by the Hornets. The under is 8-3 in Charlotte’s last 11 games played against the Western Conference. Head to head, the under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between the Warriors and Hornets, including 5-0 in the last five contests.

The Warriors have scored under 105 points in four out of their last five games played. The Hornets have scored 103 or fewer points in six out of their last 10 games played. These teams are in the bottom 10 in the league in scoring defense but their offenses have struggled as of late. The 208 total for this game isn’t too high but with the way these teams have sputtered on offense recently, I think this is going to be a low-scoring contest.

Prediction: Under 210.5
