Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Golden State Warriors

Last game the Warriors hosted Dallas and played one of the best games of the season. The team built a 15-point lead in the first quarter and kept it until the end of the game - 126:102. Stephen Curry scored 30 points, Jimmy Butler had 18 points, and Brandin Podzemski had 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Thus, Golden State has five wins in six games since Butler's signing. The only loss in this stretch the team from San Francisco suffered away from the same Dallas (107:111). In the Western Conference standings, the Warriors are in ninth place, but the gap from the top-6 has already been reduced to 1.5 wins.

Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets will play the upcoming game in a back-to-back format. Yesterday the team from North Carolina played away with Sacramento and suffered a defeat - 88:130. Interestingly, in the previous meeting Charlotte also defeated Portland on the road (88:141), suffering the biggest defeat in its history.

In the Eastern Conference with a 14-42 balance, Charlotte sits on the penultimate line, ahead of Washington, but clearly wouldn't mind swapping places with the Wizards, given their recent results.

H2H Meetings

The teams have not met yet this season, but in the previous two championships Golden State won three out of four games against Charlotte.

Expert Betting Tips

Charlotte lost to Portland and Sacramento by obscene scores, so what chance do the Hornets have to prove themselves against the rebuilding Golden State? In our opinion, none, because Charles Lee's team will also have back-to-back games. We're betting on a convincing win for Golden State on the boards - with the signing of Jimmy Butler, the Warriors have a great offense so far.
