The Denver Nuggets will look to continue their current winning streak when they host the Charlotte Hornets next in the NBA. They enter this match with the third-best record in the Western Conference, while the Hornets have the fourth-worst record in the East. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Nuggets are on a roll. They have lost just one of their last seven fixtures and are on a four-match winning streak. Two of the wins in this streak have come at home, where they have a 12-6 record.
It is particularly impressive knowing that this hot streak has come in the absence of the injured Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets, who are on the second night of a back-to-back, defeated the Wizards 121-115 at home in the first game.
The Hornets are also on the tail end of a back-to-back. Charles Lee’s men, who are concluding a five-game road trip out West in Denver, were hammered 136-116 by the Warriors on the first night.
It was their seventh loss in the last 11 games, weakening their record even further. The Hornets have lost 27 of 42 matches, with 15 of those coming away from home.
Mason Plumlee and Moussa Diabate remain out injured.
