Well, it doesn't hurt to double check indeed, but my bet is on a sticking caliper.

- Try to rotate both wheels (off the ground). If the suspect side is already dragging, you know enough
- If both rotate freely, take the car for a short drive, feel both brakes (don't touch). If one side becomes warmer than the other, take the wheel of the ground and check for a dragging brake again. But typically if one side becomes hot while the other doesn't you have found a sticky caliper.
