Nuggets vs Hornets will be one of the games to be played this Saturday in the NBA. The Western Conference leader wants to return to its winning ways by taking advantage of one of the worst teams in the league this season.
These two franchises have already faced each other in this 2022-23 campaign, in a game that took place in the city of Denver and that was won by the home team with a 119-115 score. Will they achieve another victory playing away from home?

Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Regular Season Record: 38-18.
The Denver Nuggets arrive to rival territory after being defeated by the Orlando Magic in their most recent game. Such a result has been a bit of a surprise, given there is a difference in quality between these two franchises.
However, it must be remembered that the Nuggets have not been among the top teams while playing away from home. In fact, they currently have a 12-14 record away from the Ball Arena. The team will be looking to improve these numbers a bit by visiting an opponent that has been really limited in all aspects, and against whom they have won in the last 2 meetings.
Among the most notable absences, we will find Jamal Murray, who has missed the team’s 3 most recent games. It is not known whether he will be playing this Saturday against the Hornets.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular Season Record: 15-42.
The Charlotte Hornets return home after playing against the Boston Celtics yesterday. The game went to the Eastern Conference leader by a 127-116 score, and it meant the sixth loss in a row for the Hornets.
This poor run of results has moved the team to last place in the overall standings, with the same amount of wins and losses that Detroit has.
The Hornets will try to bounce back on their feet in this new encounter, taking advantage of the fact that they will be playing at the Spectrum Center. Still, they have not even been able to achieve good numbers at home, losing 17 of the 25 games they have played.
JefeBet Prediction
Denver does not arrive to this court feeling confident after the bad result the team obtained in its the last game, but it is the big favorite because of the big difference there is in each team’s numbers.
Meanwhile, Charlotte is the third-worst squad in defense, averaging 118.7 points conceded per game, a figure the Nuggets won’t miss a chance to take advantage of if they manage to have a good night.
On offense, they are not a team that can greatly complicate the Western Conference leaders, with an average of 111.9 points. Therefore, considering the poor run of results, and the fact that the opponent is ahead of them, the Hornets are expected to add one more loss to their deplorable record in this competition.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Spread.
