Golden State Warriors vs. Charlotte Hornets key matchups

The Warriors are the favorites, but they must take care of a few matchups that could cause problems for them. Andrew Wiggins vs. Brandon Miller is one of the duels that could be significant to the eventual outcome of the contest. Miller is one of the key players for the Hornets, who could be difficult to stop if he gets going. Wiggins must lean into his two-way potential to limit Miller's impact.

Another key matchup is between Detroit natives Draymond Green and Miles Bridges. The former will likely guard the Hornets' power forward if Jonathan Kuminga misses another game. Bridges has been one of the Hornets' best offensive options. Keeping him quiet could ease the Warriors' task of winning this contest.
