Warriors Host Bobcats – Take Golden State and the Points
Playoff-Challenged Teams Meet as Warriors Host Bobcats
While the Golden State Warriors (20-37 SU, 25-28-3 ATS, 30-26 O/U) have no hopes of reaching the postseason in the powerful Western Conference, the Charlotte Bobcats (23-35 SU, 33-25 ATS, 24-32-2 O/U) are fighting for their playoff lives.
Despite currently being in 13th place in the Eastern Conference, the Bobcats are just 4.5 games behind the eighth-place Milwaukee Bucks and clearly have a chance shot to reach the postseason in the mediocre East – if they begin to out the pedal to the metal that is.
Charlotte snapped its three-game losing streak on Wednesday, beating the Sacramento Kings 98-91 to cover the spread as a 3-point road favorite in the BetUS Sportsbook.
Athletic forward Gerald Wallace scored a game-high 27 points to lead the Bobcats while the combined score fell UNDER the posted O/U total of 200 points.
Multi-talented forward Boris Diaw added 23 points while power forward Emeka Okafor added a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds in the victory.
The Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Clippers 118-105 on Monday, failing to cover the spread as 3-point road favorites while the game played under the 229-point O/U total.

NBA Odds

Analysis: As perplexing as the Golden State Warriors often are, they have won four straight in this series while covering the spread in three of those contests.
The Warriors also posted a very solid 4-1 SU and 3-1 ATS mark during its recent five-game home stand and are back at Oracle Arenas following a dismal loss to the lowly Clippers.
While the Bobcats snapped its three-game losing streak, their win came at the hands of arguably the worst team in the league this season.
I like the Warriors to win and cover the spread in this home contest while going Over the set O/U total for the seventh time in the last eight meetings against the Bobcats.
