Warriors vs Hornets Preview
This game always serves as a homecoming for superstar Stephen Curry as his dad played for the Charlotte Hornets while Steph was growing up. It’s no secret that Hornets fans are hopeful that one day Curry will return home, but for now, Curry is still a Warrior and a reigning champion at that.
The Warriors will make the cross-country trip for this game, but will have an off night on Friday after handling the Miami Heat 123-110 on Thursday night. The Hornets on the other hand will be coming home after a game in Orlando on Friday night.
The injury report is pretty clean for Golden State as they’ll just be without Andre Iguodala and Donte Divincenzo. The Hornets will be without LaMelo Ball and Cody Martin for sure, Terry Rozier was listed as day-to-day before Friday’s game.
Steph Curry has gotten off to a hot start this season as he’s eighth in the NBA in scoring at 30.8 points per game. Curry is also shooting a blistering 45.8% from three-point range.
Andrew Wiggins has been second on the team in scoring so far at 20.2 points per game and he also leads the team in rebounds with 7.0 per game. Jordan Poole has also been solid with 14.2 points and 6.0 assists per game.
Klay Thompson has gotten off to a slow start this season averaging just 12.6 points on 31% shooting from three. It’s still early in the season, but if that continues it could be a problem for the Warriors.
The Hornets have done a nice job spreading out their scoring early in the season with the absence of Ball. Gordon Hayward has led the way with 19.8 points per game, but the team also has six other players that are averaging at least 11 points per game.
Kelly Oubre Jr. is averaging 17.3 points and PJ Washington has chipped in 14.0 points per game so far. The team has gotten a couple of nice surprises in Dennis Smith Jr. and Nick Richards as well.
Smith has averaged 13.5 points and a team leading 6.2 assists per game so far and Richards has averaged 13.0 points and a team leading 7.8 rebounds per game.
One stat to watch in this game will be three-point defense, through four games the Hornets have held to just 28.1% shooting from three.
