The very impressive Denver Nuggets boast an incredible 10-2 record on the road, which they carry into Sunday's game against the Hornets at the Spectrum Center, where they are 10.5-point favorites.

The Nuggets defeated the Hawks 134-133 in a thrilling comeback, scoring 80 points in the second half to overcome a 23-point deficit. Jokic once again put up superhuman numbers, contributing 40 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. The Serbian star enters the game against Charlotte still averaging a triple-double per game with 29.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 11 assists.

Meanwhile, for the Hornets, after playing only 11 minutes against the Raptors, it was confirmed that LaMelo Ball is dealing with a left ankle bone bruise and will miss the game against Denver. This could give Sion James and KJ Simpson more playing time. Even so, at ScotiaBank Arena against Toronto, the Hornets enjoyed an improbable 111-86 victory with 21 points from Kon Knueppel; six Charlotte players reached double figures that night.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

Without a doubt, Denver's offense is something rarely seen before in the NBA; in all of their last 4 wins, they scored 124 points or more, while Jokic is an unstoppable force; the entire team went 16-for-37 from three-point range against the Hawks in their last game.

This will be the first time these teams have faced off since February of this year, but you'd have to go back to December 2021 to find the last time the Hornets beat the Nuggets.

Our prediciton for Hornets vs Nuggets is: Nuggets -10.5.

Prediction:

 

Nuggets -10.5.
