The Golden State Warriors have a tough task ahead when they welcome the dogged Charlotte Hornets in their next NBA game. GSW beat the Hornets 132-125 in their earlier meeting, but only relied on a 4th-quarter comeback to do so. Can the Warrior run it back, or are we in for another shocking road win for Charlotte? Let's get into this match prediction.

The Warriors have been flying high since the end of December. Since their 119-116 win against the Suns on the 21st, the GSW has won ten of their last 14 games, only losing to the Hawks, Clippers, Thunder, and Raptors. That run now sees the Warriors at 8th in the West, and if they keep their form up, they could realistically finish with an automatic playoff spot.

However, GSW’s next challenge is a visit from the Hornets, which isn't as easy as it seems on paper. The Hornets, meanwhile, have been on and off in their latest games, recording four wins in their last seven. But the latest victory, a 135-117 win over the Lakers on the road, should give them confidence coming into this game.

Their away form has been quite impressive in recent times, with four wins in their last five games. Besides the Lakers, the Hornets also beat the Bulls, Jazz, and 1st-seed OKC on the road.

Our Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

Our money is on Charlotte rookie Kon Knueppel to make at least 3 three-pointers against the Warriors. At 1.75 odds, his line might even be mispriced considering Knueppel has made the 4th-most threes and only 15 fewer than Donovan Mitchell at the top of that list.

Everything else checks out. Knueppel is 11th in the league for three-point efficiency, and he already averages 3.4 3PT per game. Hence, our Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets prediction is that Kon Knueppel scores 3+ threes.
