This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Charlotte Hornets.

This is a great situationally based selection. Desperation breeds motivation and I think the Hornets will keep this one close enough to at the very least sneak in through the back door with the large spread they've been afforded tonight. I think this sets up as a letdown spot for the surging Warriors, they've won seven straight. Conversely, Charlotte already has its back against the wall at this point of the season as it's lost seven straight. This is also a "revenge" game for the home side after it fell 112-87 in Golden State on November 15th. Note that the Hornets weren't overly horrible in their 105-97 setback to red-hot Portland on Wednesday as Brian Roberts come off the bench to score a career-high 24, while big man Al Jefferson added 21 points and 14 boards. Interestingly, the Warriors have dropped 13 of the last 15 in Charlotte and are just 28-31 ATS the last two seasons after a victory by ten points or more. And note that Charlotte has been money in this spot for bettors, 5-3 ATS in its last eight following a non-conference contest. While I won't go so far as to call for the outright upset, I do definitely feel that the conditions are right for a highly competitive affair and will ultimately recommend in grabbing as many points as you can; play on the HORNETS.
