Charlotte Hornets at Denver Nuggets Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Hornets come in off a nasty loss against the bottom-feeding Phoenix Suns on Thursday night. Contrarily, the Nuggets enter off an impressive win at Milwaukee where the Nuggets rolled the Deers on their own court. As a general rule of thumb, the Nuggets can be quite a challenge for opposing teams playing at the higher altitude. When you toss in the fact that Charlotte has had difficulty as a whole on the road, this sets up a perfect situation to target the Hornets. The Hornets have been a treacherous proposition on the road this year as they stand at 10-22 SU away from Charlotte.

Charlotte Hornets at Denver Nuggets Prediction

We will continue our assault on the Hornets and once again fade Charlotte on the road. Denver has taken their current status in the NBA Playoff race very seriously and this is reflected in the results manifested on their road trip. Now, the journey gets a bit smoother as they will enjoy an extended home stand with a manageable schedule. Their first opponent? A Charlotte club who as we mentioned previously has had a plethora of problems on the road. We are not typically chalk players but when the shoe fits we will wear it. We will stay clear of the Hornets until they can prove they can even cover when they are outside the Queen City. Charlotte’s field goal efficiency percentages are one of the worst in the NBA and this is especially bad news considering the Nuggets are marksmen with a catalytic offense. If Denver gets hot, they can easily bury this team and thus we will gladly spot the points here.
