These teams just played less than a week ago, so the preview of the last game pretty much holds true for this one. The Warriors are good with Jimmy Butler. They play small with Butler and Draymond Green on the floor together, or they use Quinten Post’s outside shooting at the five spot. Most things are going swimmingly for them right now, other than Jimmy Butler allegedly facing suit for trashing his old house in Miami.

In the games since they last played the Hornets, Stephen Curry dropped 56 in a win over the Magic, then the Warriors dropped a game to a 76ers team that is mostly bad but randomly pops up to beat good teams every now and again. In that game, Quentin Grimes dropped 44 on them. He’s the guy they acquired from the Mavs for Caleb Martin, who has yet to play for his new team. The Mavericks are crushing it with their trades over there.

I don’t know what else to had. Hopefully it doesn’t go too poorly? I don’t know. The Hornets will at least be mostly healthy in regards to players that aren’t already out for the year. Maybe one is due for a big night.
