Golden State has won five of six games since trading for Jimmy Butler at the NBA trade deadline. Butler scored 18 points with four rebounds and five assists in his home debut on Sunday to help the Warriors to a 126-102 victory over the Mavericks.

Steve Kerr's club will almost certainly pick up their fourth win in a row versus the miserable Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night, but will they cover the spread?

Doncic coming off best game

Jimmy Butler is averaging 20.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals in six games with the Warriors. Since his arrival, Golden State has the league’s sixth-best defensive rating and the sixth-best offensive rating.

The 35-year-old signed a two-year, $112 million extension following the trade that will keep him in the Bay Area until at least summer 2027.

Following Butler's arrival, his new teammate Draymond Green predicted a championship on the TNT airwaves during NBA All-Star Weekend. “Jimmy almost won the championship leading the team — twice,” said Green.

Vintage Steph Curry

Stephen Curry is on a tear, averaging 30.4 points, 5.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds over his last eight contests. The All-Star Game MVP had 30 points, four rebounds and seven assists in Sunday's blowout win over Dallas.

Golden State has won their past two games by 20+ points, and are favored by 16.5 over Charlotte.
