SAN FRANCISCO -- The Warriors have owned the Charlotte Hornets lately, winning 11 of the last 14 meetings and five of the last seven at home.
However, with Stephen Curry out until at least the All-Star break, the Hornets are eager to change the trend Saturday at Chase Center.
Pregame coverage on NBC Sports Bay Area begins at 4:30 p.m., with tipoff scheduled for 5:40.
The Warriors' injuries are piling up, as Draymond Green won't play Saturday after he tore a ligament in his left index finger during Friday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. D'Angelo Russell won't play, either, as he will sit with a right ankle sprain.
The Hornets will love their chances against the Warriors' short-handed lineup on the second night of a back-to-back.

ROTATION OUTLOOK
Warriors: At 1-4, Golden State is off to its worst start since the 2009-10 season.
Rookie Jordan Poole -- who is averaging 10.6 points through five games -- scored a career-high 20 points Friday night, and he should be in line for more minutes with Russell out.
Since 2009, the Warriors are 43-67 without Curry in the lineup.
Hornets: Charlotte entered Saturday tied for first in the NBA in 3-point percentage (41.9).
Former Celtic Terry Rozier is averaging 15.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in his first season with the Hornets. Rookie PJ Washington's 13 made 3-pointers were the second-most among rookies entering Saturday, and he leads them in 3-point percentage (52.0).
Forward Miles Bridges has been impressive in his second NBA season, averaging 14.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
OFFICIALS: Tom Washington (No. 49), Courtney Kirkland (No. 61) and John Butler (No. 53).
