NBA Picks & Predictions for Friday, December 31, 2010
By Drew Sharper
CHARLOTTE, NC (TheSpread) – The Golden State Warriors and the Charlotte Bobcats both need a victory on Friday when they meet up at 3 p.m. Here is a breakdown of my pick for this game.
Golden State is 12-19 on the season and 4-13 on the road. The Warriors have won just 4 of their last 10 games. Charlotte is 11-19 on the season and 8-7 at home. The Bobcats have won two straight and 4 of their last 10.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have released their odds for this game and they have made the Bobcats a 3-point favorite at home. The over/under total has been set at 209 points. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
Golden State Warriors vs. Charlotte Bobcats, 3PM ET
The Warriors are 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games with the Bobcats and just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in Charlotte. The over has hit in 5 of the last 6 games between these two teams. My pick is with the Bobcats at home. When two bad teams meet, the home team tends to have the edge and with a low spread, I like Charlotte to cover.
