<p>The NBA betting action goes with 11 games on Wednesday’s card, including the interconference showdown at Chase Center in San Francisco, so here’s the best Charlotte Hornets vs. Golden State Warriors betting pick.</p>



<p>The Hornets start a five-game road trip as 7-point underdogs on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the totals are set at 225.0 points. Charlotte is coming in full strength. Golden State, on the other side, is still without James Wiseman (knee) and Klay Thompson (Achilles).</p>



<h2>Charlotte lost to Cleveland despite LaMelo Ball’s strong performance </h2>



<p>The Charlotte Hornets (5-3; 5-3 ATS) are coming off a tough 113-110 home loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They allowed a whopping 40 points in the first quarter and tried to mount a comeback in the fourth, but the Cavs held off LaMelo Ball and his teammates, who dropped three of their last five contests.</p>



<p>Ball went off for 30 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, shooting 12-for-22 from the field and 5-for-8 from beyond the arc. Terry Rozier had 23 points and six boards, while P.J. Washington added 18 points off the bench.</p>



<p>LaMelo continues to lead the way for the Hornets, averaging 20.1 points, 6.1 boards, and 6.1 assists on the young season. The Hornets boast the second-best offensive rating in the NBA, tallying 114.9 points per 100 possessions, but their defensive rating is the third-worst in the league (112.5).</p>



<h2>Golden State hammered OKC to get back on the winning path </h2>



<p>The Golden State Warriors (5-1; 3-3 ATS) suffered their first loss of the season last Thursday. They fell short as 6-point home favorites against the Memphis Grizzlies, 104-101, but the Dubs bounced back two days later and trounced Oklahoma City 103-82 as massive 12.5-point home favorites.</p>



<p>Golden State held the Thunder to 34.9% shooting from the field and 20.5% from downtown. On the other side of the ball, the Warriors went 21-for-54 from deep (38.9%) while handing out 30 assists. They scored just 28 points in the paint, and Stephen Curry led the way with 20 points, five rebounds, and six assists.</p>



<p>The Warriors tally 107.0 points per 100 possessions (15<sup>th</sup> in the NBA) on 53.8 effective field goal percentage (5<sup>th</sup>). They allow only 99.4 points in a return (4<sup>th</sup>) on 42.9% shooting from the field (tied-6<sup>th</sup>) and 30.5% from beyond the arc (5<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Charlotte:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-8 ATS in the last 12 games overall</li><li>0-6 ATS in the last six games on the road</li></ul>



<p><strong>Golden State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>10-4 ATS in the last 14 games overall</li><li>7-3 ATS in the last ten games at home</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-charlotte-hornets-vs-golden-state-warriors-pick">Charlotte Hornets vs. Golden State Warriors Pick</h2>



<p>The Warriors are 14-4 SU and 12-6 ATS in their last 18 games at home. Their defense has been terrific so far this season, so the Warriors should be able to slow down the Hornets’ prolific offense. Charlotte is shooting 41.1% from deep which seems unsustainable, and the Hornets have shown a lot of defensive flaws thus far.</p>



<p>Steph Curry should be a key factor for the hosts on the offensive side of things. He’ll be fired up for a highly-anticipated matchup with LaMelo Ball. The Hornets might keep it close on the back of their offense, so buying a few points seems like a smart move.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Golden State Warriors -5.0 at -150&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The Hornets have been pretty much unstoppable offensively so far this season, but their defense is a big issue. Charlotte should have enough firepower to put some serious numbers on the scoreboard in this one, while the Warriors could easily hit a 120-point mark.</p>



<p>Over their last two outings, the Hornets allowed 113 points to Portland and Cleveland. The over has hit in six of their last eight games, while the Warriors’ last five contests have gone in the under.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 225.0 points at -110</strong></p>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">After a two-day break, the 2020 NBA Finals betting action goes on with Game 5 between the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Lakers need one more win to clinch their 17</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> title in franchise history and tie with the Boston Celtics atop of the list. The Heat, on the other side, are in dire straits, but they won’t go away easily, promising a great battle for the rest of the series. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">I have prepared the most important betting tips and trends for Friday’s clash in the NBA bubble, so let’s take a closer look, as down below will be my best betting pick for Game 5 of the 2020 NBA Finals, too. </span>

<b>The Line</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Lakers are 7-point favorites on </span><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">BetDSI</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and their moneyline odds sit at -310. The Heat are +260 dogs to win straight up, while the totals are set at 216.0 points on </span><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">BetOnline</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.  </span>

<b>Injuries/Suspensions</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Miami will be without Goran Dragic once again, as the 34-year-old guards suffered a foot injury in Game 1 of the 2020 NBA Finals. Bam Adebayo hurt his neck in the opener and missed the next two games, but he returned last Tuesday and should be available for Friday’s contest.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other side, the Lakers are coming in full strength. </span>

<b>What's at Stake?</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Heat’s season is on the line, and they will try to prolong it for at least one more game. Only one team has ever managed to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Playoffs. </span>

<b>The Spot</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">After a 102-96 defeat in Game 4, the Heat cannot afford another loss and will be under huge pressure in Game 5. At least, they had a couple of days to rest and prepare, but the Lakers are undoubtedly a more experienced team than the Heat. </span>

<b>The Matchup</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Miami outlasted LA 115-104 in Game 3 thanks to Jimmy Butler’s triple-double, while the team played excellent defense and executed very well on the offensive end. The Heat shut down Anthony Davis who finished the game with just 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting from the field. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the Heat couldn’t replicate that performance in Game 4. Davis had 22 points on 8-for-16 from the field; LeBron James posted 28 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was an X-factor with 15 points and five dimes including a huge triple down the stretch. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Both teams shot below 45.0% from the field and committed 15 turnovers each, but the Lakers handed out seven assists more than their opponents (25-18). Los Angeles posted three rebounds more than Miami (42-39), and the Heat can be satisfied with their job on the glass. The Lakers combined for 27 offensive rebounds in Games 2 and 3. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bam Adebayo returned to the floor in Game 4 and accounted for 15 points and seven rebounds. Jimmy Butler had 22 points, 10 boards, and nine assists, while Tyler Herro added 21 points. However, the Heat struggled offensively down the stretch and blew a nice opportunity to tie the series. </span>

<b>The Bets</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The previous contest was the tightest one in this series, and I expect to see more of the same in Game 5 on Friday night. The Heat are a hard-working team and will never give up, so they should be able to keep it close once more. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, I’m looking for the Lakers to finish the job. They’ve learned a valuable lesson in Game 3, so I’m backing the Lakers to win and cover a 4.5-point spread at -170 odds. If you fancy Miami’s chances, I suggest you buy a few points as well. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Lakers have won seven of their last eight encounters with the Heat, but they are only 1-4 ATS in the previous five matchups with Miami. </span>
