Warriors Host Streaking Hornets
The Golden State Warriors play host to the Charlotte Hornets at Chase Center on Friday evening.

This marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Warriors (28-26), after a confident home win over the Lakers on Thursday. The Warriors held a three-point edge after the first quarter and pushed their lead to 11 points by halftime. They continued building on their lead in third quarter and stayed in front down the stretch to close out their second straight win. Stephen Curry led the way with 32 points, eight assists and three steals in the win. Andrew Wiggins followed up with 20 points, three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block, while Trayce Jackson-Davis added 17 points, five rebounds and two blocks. Looking ahead the Warriors hope to keep rolling and add to their, 15-14, home record. Chris Paul (hand) has not played since early January and will remain out through Friday's action.

Meanwhile, this also marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Hornets (14-41), after they picked up their fourth consecutive win, as they topped the Jazz, 115-107, in Utah on Thursday. Miles Bridges led the way in the win with 26 points, 14 rebounds and four assists, in 41 minutes. Grant Williams followed up with 24 points, two assists and a steal, while Brandon Miller totaled 16 points, three rebounds, five assists and four steals. The Hornets will look to keep the momentum going as they face the second game of a four-game road trip, with the opportunity to improve on their, 6-20, road record. LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Davis Bertans (knee) are both listed as questionable for action, while Mark Williams (back) will remain out.
