Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Mar. 3 | 2024-25 NBA Season

The Charlotte Hornets will host Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in an interconference regular season matchup on Monday. The two teams have had vastly different seasons, with the Warriors having more at stake than the Hornets.

Golden State is battling for a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference and their recent resurgence has put them in a strong position to avoid the play-in tournament. A win against the Hornets on Monday could even see the Warriors jump to sixth place in the standings.

Steve Kerr's team recently saw their five-game win streak snapped after a loss to the struggling Philadelphia 76ers. Having said that, they played without Jimmy Butler, who has been a key factor in their recent turnaround.

In contrast, the Hornets have been a lottery-bound team throughout the season. Currently sitting in 14th place in the Eastern Conference with a dismal 14-45 record, they are on a six-game losing streak. The Hornets will look to give their fans something to cheer about with a strong performance against the Warriors.
