SportsLine's model just revealed its NBA picks and predictions for Tuesday's Charlotte Hornets vs. Golden State Warriors matchup

Analyzing Tuesday’s Charlotte Hornets at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

That’s because the Warriors are hammering teams on the margins, ranking first in the NBA in points off turnovers — nearly five points clear of everyone at 29.3 per contest. They’re also tied for first in second-chance points (18.3), and their 52 points per game in the paint is nearly eight points better than their usual 45.4, which ranks 24th.

The Warriors opted to break up the famous duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and traded Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in July. That decision hasn't led to success, as Golden State is 28-27 and the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, Curry's shooting numbers are down, and Jimmy Butler is still adjusting.

Stephen Curry scored 30 points and the Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks 126-102 on Sunday. The Warriors have won five of six and improved to 5-1 since trading for Jimmy Butler, who made his home debut and finished with 18 points.
