Preview
The Golden State Warriors will travel to the Spectrum Center and take on the Charlotte Hornets this Friday.
Golden State Warriors
Golden State has been on a tear this season, and at 11-1, they now sit comfortably atop the vaunted Western Conference.
Steph Curry is in the midst of an MVP season. The former Davidson guard had outbursts 40 and 50 points last week, and he shows no signs of slowing down. He's averaging 28.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 6.4 apg, while shooting 40% from deep.
Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole have stepped this year in Klay Thompson absence, and given the Warriors two strong scorers surrounding Curry. Both slashers average over 17 points per game.
Draymond Green continues to heartbeat of the Golden State roster. The tenth-year swiss-army knife is averaging 7.9 ppg, 8.3 rpg, and 7.2 apg.
Brooklyn Nets
After a slow start, the Brooklyn Nets are back atop the Eastern Conference where they belong. The Nets have won six of their last seven, and their coming in on the heels of a 120-96 victory over OKC.
Kevin Durant is in the midst of an MVP season. The former Warrior has kept the Nets afloat with a league-leading 29.6 ppg.
James Harden has had his struggles this season but the former league MVP has finally got things going wwith three 25+-point games over his last four.
Spark plug Patty Mills exploded for a career-high 39 points, and he's a threat to do that on any given night.
Prediction
Stephen Curry is going to shine in this spot. This will be personal, as he’s finally out of the shadow of Kevin Durant. Throw in the aura of the Barclays, and we could really be in for a show. Three of the most offensively gifted players of all-time will share the court, but it’s the two-time league MVP who we believe shines tonight.
Take Golden State’s spread on the road for this high octane matchup.
PICK: Golden State Warriors +3.5
