The improving Charlotte Hornets will welcome the Denver Nuggets in their next assignment in the NBA. They enter this game sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference, whereas the Nuggets are third in the West. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Hornets have won three of their last five matches. It is their best run of form in another season where they have lost more games than they've won. Charles Lee’s men, who are nine games under .500, have won twice against the Raptors in this period.

A dominant display in their most recent outing saw them hammer the East’s third-best team, Toronto, 111-86. The Hornets have struggled with injuries, and for this game, six players are ruled out, including Collin Sexton, LaMelo Ball, and Josh Green.

The Nuggets have not lost any of their last seven meetings with the Hornets. Four of those victories have come with them as the away team, and with their form this season, they are primed for another victory.

David Adelman’s men have lost just six of 22 games, and only two other teams have better records in the entire league. Denver, who have won their last two matches, are also averaging the league’s most points per game at 125.5 a night.

Currently in the middle of a five-game road trip, the Nuggets are coming off a nail-biting 134-133 victory over the Hawks.
