Betting on the Charlotte Hornets

Hornets vs Nuggets Predictions Picks Betting Odds

Where do we start? This group is wildly inconsistent. Although their most recent loss, against the Pistons, who are pretty much in the same situation, was fairly painful, they have already dropped six straight games. This loss happened 141-134 in overtime.

One of the team’s leaders, Mason Plumlee, has been snatching at least nine boards for at least seven games. However, they fail to capitalize on this opportunity, as whenever he snatches a rebound, they immediately lose the ball.

In the matches, they can hardly have the advantage on the scoreboard. They are always trailing and that is very tiring. When they get close, they fall back down and start all over again. The Hornets are already thinking about the draft.

Betting on the Denver Nuggets

  • BetMGM Over/Under: 235.5

The Nuggets, on the other hand, have won three games in a row and are now posing a danger to both the West and the Grizzlies after winning three straight games.

It’s already getting monotonous to talk about Nikola Jokić. He averages 24.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 9.0 assists per game for the Nuggets. He is almost flying and unstoppable.

In the last meeting alone he scored 43 and dropped 14 boards against the Wizards, in a 141-128 thrashing. The good thing is that in the last ten games, Aaron Gordon is averaging 20.3 points per game, and that’s pretty good because it helps the team to not only depend on the Serbian player.

Charlotte can’t possibly defeat the Nuggets at home. They are competing against a squad that has just three home losses, features one of the league’s top players, and is 3-11 on the road. Naturally, Denver is the winner in our prediction.

If an upset happens, it might rank among the biggest shocks of the week, but it’s unlikely. Nikola Jokić won’t let us down.
