Charlotte Hornets seek win over injured Golden State Warriors

The Charlotte Hornets are currently riding a one-game winning streak. Can they win two consecutive games in a row for the first time this season?

After a fantastic win on Wednesday night, the Charlotte Hornets are heading into their next game on Saturday night with good odds. On Saturday, the Hornets are set to take on a depleted Golden State Warriors team.

The Hornets are currently the #1 team in the league in three-point percentage (41.9%). One of the league’s best three-point shooters will be out in this game. Stephen Curry suffered a broken hand in the warrior’s recent loss.

This will be a true test for Charlotte’s younger players as they take on the reigning Western Conference champions. Charlotte’s lottery pick, PJ Washington, is coming off a game where he scored 23 points/

Things to watch for:

This game will feature D’Angelo Russell as the main point-guard and scorer for the Golden State Warriors. Fans should watch out the Warriors play with Stephen Curry not playing on Saturday.

PJ Washington is riding a game where he scored 23 points against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Washington will be facing a good defender with Draymond Green.

Fans should also watch for Cody Zeller to average more high numbers. Zeller is averaging a double-double on the season, and he scored his career-high in points (28) against the Warriors last season.

Keys to the game:

The Hornets are the #1 team in the league in three-point percentage, and if they want to win this one, then they must continue to shoot well from deep. The Hornets shot 50% from deep against the Kings on Wednesday.

The youth’s production will be important in this game, so Charlotte must get good games from players like PJ Washington, Dwayne Bacon, Miles Bridges, and Devonte Graham. Fans should also expect the same starting lineup of Rozier, Bacon, Bridges, Washington, and Zeller for this game.

The Hornets have a real chance to get back to .500 with this injured Warriors team. The Warriors may be lacking confidence after their recent loss to the Phoenix Suns, and the team needs to take advantage of this. A win against the Warriors should put the Hornets on the right track.
