After a gut-wrenching defeat to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night, the Hornets will look to rebound against the two-time reigning champion Golden State Warriors, a showdown which tips off tonight at 7 p.m. ET in Charlotte.
The road team went 2-0 in the season series last year between these two sides, although Golden State’s Steph Curry missed both contests with an ankle injury. The Warriors are kicking off a four-game Eastern Conference road trip in Charlotte and have gone 19-4 since Dec. 27, although have dropped two of their last three appearances.
Per usual, three-time All-Star Kemba Walker has been spectacular for the Hornets lately and is coming off a 32-point outing in Saturday’s game against Brooklyn.
