The Denver Nuggets are set to host the Charlotte Hornets in an inter-conference battle between two teams each vying for the final playoff seed in their respective conferences.
Charlotte enters this contest as the 11th seed out East, but they’re just three games behind the No. 8 Detroit Pistons.

Denver, on the other hand, owns the West’s eighth seed; however, every game is of the utmost importance with the Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks all chasing them down.
*All statistics, standings, records, rankings and trends are current as of this writing at 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday, March 3.
Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets jumped out of the gate this season and not only looked like a playoff squad, but one that might legitimately challenge for title of “best challenger” to the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers.
That subjective title is long gone, and while hopes of the playoffs are not, it’ll take a strong home-stretch run to re-join the postseason picture.

Against the Nuggets, Charlotte’s big need to be ready. Denver’s Nikola Jokic has become not just one of the most dominant centers in the league in terms of stat-sheet stuffing, but one of the most unique.
He’s an excellent playmaker who legitimately makes the pieces around him better.
Simply making him uncomfortable will do a world of wonder when it comes to slowing down the rest of the roster.
If Charlotte can manage to pull that off.
Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets enter this game having won three of their last four contests, including two in a row.
Their most recent showing was a 110-98 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on the road.
On the year, Denver is averaging 110.8 points per night. That number is good enough for fourth in the NBA.
The problem is the other end of the floor. Defensively, this group is allowing teams to score 111.4 points per game.
That number is bad enough to put them in 28th out of 30 teams in the Association.

The key to beating Charlotte will be controlling the pace.
The Nuggets love to get out and run, so using that to their advantage (not to mention in the Mile High altitude) will be important Saturday night.
