NBA Betting Trends

Golden State

The Warriors are 1-6 against the spread in their last seven following a loss and 0-5 ATS in their last five playing on 1 day of rest.

Charlotte

The Hornets are 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 against Pacific Division opponents and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record.

Prediction:

The Warriors are in a real funk in terms of playing to their potential right now. They haven’t won by eight points in their last five, including close games at home with the Heat and Kings. They now go on the road to face the Hornets, who are a respectable home team. While they are coming off a loss at home to the Nets, Charlotte is 17-13 against the spread at home. Until Golden State can show me it will roll these bad teams again, I am going to take the points against them.

NBA Prediction: Charlotte Hornets +7.5
