Warriors Down Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets may not have their top guard in Steph Curry, but they are still going to win this game. The Warriors have shown time and time again its the next man up. Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are all players that can carry the Warriors to a win on a random night. They still have three All Stars, with great pieces off the bench.
