The Golden State Warriors will go head-to-head with a well-rested Charlotte Hornets team at Spectrum Center. The Hornets haven't played an NBA game since Sunday after their game against the San Antonio Spurs, who had a number of players that tested positive for COVID-19, was postponed. Charlotte could be either out of sync or the rest could have positive results for them after losing two of their previous three outings.
The Warriors have won four of their last six contests but they badly miss their big men who have been out for weeks. They need James Wiseman and Kevon Looney back soon in order to stay competitive on a nightly basis. Stephen Curry can’t continue to carry this team on his shoulders no matter how good he is.
