Charlotte Hornets vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The Golden State Warriors are starting to put together that playoff push, and this is another game they should use to chip away in the standings. However, this is a lot of points to lay for two teams on the end of a back to back. The Charlotte Hornets have also quietly won 4 straight games, and they've covered 6 of their last 7 games. A blowout here wouldn't be surprising, but I'm going to grab the buckets with the Hornets.
