Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
Wednesday, January 15th, the Charlotte Hornets face the Denver Nuggets in the clubs first meeting of the season.
Last season, the teams played twice and split the contests. In a rarity, the Nuggets and Hornets have evenly split their previous 58 games with each winning 29 games.
Charlotte Hornets
Losers of five in a row the Hornets are clinging to the ninth seed in the East by virtue of earlier wins and the chase pack beneath them playing so poorly.

In their most recent game, the Hornets collected a loss at the hands of another struggling squad the Portland Trail Blazers.
Charlotte battled back in this match after giving up a 37-20 second quarter they came out of the break fired up and dropped a 43-29 third quarter on the Blazers but it was too little too late.
In the loss, Devonte’ Graham delivered 27 points and 10 assists while rookie PJ Washington joined him with his own double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds.
Terry Rozier scored 25 points and Willy Hernangomez dropped 14 as the other double-figure scorers.
Devonte’ Graham leads the team in scoring (18.8) and assists (7.8) while Cody Zeller tops the team rebounding (7.2) and field goal percentage (53.5%) categories. The hustle leaders are Terry Rozier for steals (1.2) and PJ Washington for blocks (0.9).
The Hornets finally have everyone back healthy so arrive in Denver with a full complement of players.
Denver Nuggets
Denver took some sub .500 teams lightly (namely the Pelicans, Wizards, and Cavaliers) wasting a golden opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the upper tier in the West.
The Nuggets briefly sat in second but by virtue of Utah’s 10 game win streak including Tuesday’s win in Brooklyn the Jazz have overtaken Denver to claim the second seed.
Suffice to say Denver isn’t likely to lose focus in this match. Since head coach Mike Malone called out his team stating their defense was somewhere on a milk carton the team has responded.
In their last match, the Nuggets got back on track with a big win over the LA Clippers. Nikola Jokic dropped a 20 point, 15 rebound double-double.
The Nuggets showcased their depth with each of Jamal Murray (19), Gary Harris (15), Michael Porter Jr. (13), Monte Morris (12), Torrey Craig (11) and Jerami Grant (11) all joining Jokic with double-digit scoring.
In terms of individual team leaders, Nikola Jokic leads the four main categories with 19.3 points 6.4 assists, 9.9 rebounds, and 51.0 percent field goal percentage. The hustle categories are led by Gary Harris for steals (1.5) and Paul Millsap for blocks (0.7).
What makes this match slightly up in the air is Gary Harris (abdominal injury) and Jamal Murray (back injury) are both questionable for Wednesday.
In addition, Paul Millsap will miss his fourth game with a knee contusion and Bol Bol (foot) remains out indefinitely.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
Normally this could be a trap game where the Hornets could get hot and pull off a win but after losing those three matches and more importantly the second seed in the West the Nuggets won’t take Charlotte for granted.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Nuggets ATS
More important is whether Harris and Murray will be able to play but with such great depth on their roster as long as the Nuggets stick to their defense-first mentality this could be over early.
