4. Steph Curry will catch fire in the 4th quarter 

Despite the Warriors having a success early into the season, there has been a pattern that's developed in late game situations for Golden State, especially during their close games. This constant has been that Steph Curry has gone ice cold in the 4th quarter from deep. It is still way early in the new season and there's so much basketball to play, but if the Warriors want to avoid having any skids or losing streaks this year, then Curry needs to snap out of his late-game shooting slump and come through in the clutch.

With Curry already having cemented his place as the greatest shooter in NBA history, it'll only be a matter of time before he breaks out and starts hitting almost every shot he attempts while setting even more scoring records. So come tomorrow evening, it can definitely be expected that Curry will have the hot hand in the 4th quarter of tomorrow's exciting showdown.

3. Draymond Green will post his first triple-double of the season

As crazy as it may seem, Draymond Green is yet to have a triple-double during the Warriors recent run of success. Against the Hornets, Green will look to end this drought and up come up with his first triple-double of the season. There's no question that he'll have plenty more opportunities to achieve this throughout the year, but it wouldn't come as any surprise to see him to pull one off against this young and aggressive Hornets squad.

With his defensive versatility and wide array of skillsets as one of the league's best point-forwards, Green still has plenty left in the tank and is more than capable of coming up with another big night for Golden State while filling up the stat sheet. In their quest to stay on the winning track, Green will look to continually be a difference maker for the Dubs and have an efficient night by adding another impressive triple-double to his resume.

2. Otto Porter Jr. will have a big night for the Warriors 

The addition of Otto Porter Jr. has proven to be highly beneficial to the Warriors as it has allowed them to space the floor better and run a more efficient offense. Porter Jr. also has become one of the league's best 3-and-D players who has upgraded the Warriors wing play and given them another reliable 3-point shooter who will continue to excel in their up-tempo style of play.

Now that they've re-established a winning brand of basketball, Porter Jr. has been a welcome addition for Golden State so far and will keep this up during their game against the Hornets tomorrow evening. It may not be noticeable, but Porter Jr. has brought a lot to the table for the Dubs and has been a pivotal part of their success up to this point.

1. The Warriors will win their sixth game of the season 

Now that they've climbed their way back to the top of the Western Conference, Golden State is starting to look more like their old selves and don't seem to be slipping away anytime soon. Even though the Hornets have made significant changes to their roster and look like a legit playoff threat early on, the Warriors are a well-established title contender.

This is a group that the entire league's knows as arguably the most dangerous team in the NBA when they're at full strength. So the Hornets will more than likely find themselves outmatched and overwhelmed by the depth, experience, and firepower of this veteran Warriors team. Rejuvenated and ready for any challenge that comes their way, the Warriors will hail victorious against the Hornets tomorrow night.
