*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday, February 10th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, February 11th.
Denver Nuggets
Despite the major roster shakeups in the West, the Nuggets remain the top squad leading Memphis by four, Sacramento by six, and everyone else by at least eight games.
For Denver, backup center Thomas Bryant was the main addition although purging Bones Hyland was considered equally as important given the conflict the young guard was creating on the squad.
Hyland’s desire for more playing time and refusal to work closely with Jamal Murray often hijacking the offense while ignoring the defense eventually brought the situation to a head.
With him off the team, the Nuggets’ chemistry will be stronger and they’ll be able to consider adding a veteran from the buyout market.
Stats
Denver possesses the best offense in the league highlighted by scoring 117.1 points per game ranking seventh. Denver is shooting the best field goal percentage of 51.0% as well as the top-ranked perimeter efficiency of 39.5%.
To be sure, defensively the Nuggets are improving. So far, they allow opponents to score 113.0 points per game which ranks 13th while limiting foes to 48.1% from the field and 35.1% from deep ranking 23rd and eighth respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jamal Murray PG (questionable – knee)
- Thomas Bryant C (questionable – recently acquired in trade)
- Zeke Nnaji PF ( (questionable – shoulder)
- Collin Gillespie PG (OUT – leg fracture)
Charlotte Hornets
Reggie Jackson will be bought out by the Hornets and join the group of players that can elect to join whatever team they believe has a great shot at a title run and where they can best impact the product on the court.
As for the Hornets, the moves they made solidified their lack of desire for this club to win. That’s an about-face from earlier in the season when despite injuries the Hornets were still trying to collect wins. Now the focus is Victor Wembanyama and only Wembanyama!
Season Stats
Charlotte ranks 24th averaging 111.9 points per game while shooting 45.2% from the field and 32.1% from the perimeter ranking 30th in both later categories.
Defensively, Charlotte is giving up an average of 118.6 points which ranks 28th. Opponents shoot 48.1% from the field and 36.7% from the perimeter ranking 24th in both efficiency categories.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Cody Martin, SF (downgraded to OUT— left knee soreness)
- Kelly Oubre Jr., SG (OUT indefinitely — left-hand surgery)
- Svi Mykhailiuk SF (questionable recently acquired in trade)

Free Denver Nuggets vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
Although the West has taken on an entirely new dynamic the Nuggets still look like the best team. Sure, Kyrie Irving offers Luka Doncic a bonafide All-Star to work with and Kevin Durant definitely increases the Suns’ contender status.
However, those teams still have weaknesses to address. Specifically, the Mavericks’ defense will be tested especially when Doncic, Irving, and Christian Wood occupy the court simultaneously.
As for the Suns, their depth was an issue prior to the trade deadline, and now that Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson exited they’ve also lost two of their top defenders.
That’s not to suggest the Nuggets are without weaknesses or worries. They’ve lost four in a row on the road and aren’t always as invested on the defensive end for the full 48 minutes frequently playing down to lower-tier competition.
This is precisely why I hesitated about the huge spread for this match, however a constant for this team is bouncing back immediately when they falter so I’ll roll the dice this time they throw down a blow-out victory.
