Charlotte Hornets vs Denver Nuggets Prediction: Nuggets Will Have a lot of Freedom

Prediction for the NBA Charlotte Hornets vs Denver Nuggets match, which will take place on February 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets could hardly expect to win in the previous match against Boston, and naturally, they did not achieve it, losing with a difference in the score – 116:127. Charlotte allowed the opponent to smear themselves on the three-point line - the Celtics made 25 long-range attempts out of 55. As part of the Charlotte, according to the results of this meeting, we can only note the point guard LaMelo Ball, who lacked one rebound to a triple-double – 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 10 assists. And also young center Mark Williams (11 points, 12 rebounds), who now, apparently, will always play in the starting lineup for Charlotte, given the recent exchange of Mason Plumlee.

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets held the previous meeting in Orlando and failed to cope with the powerful Magic this season – 104:115. Michael Malone's team lacked Jamal Murray, who missed the fight due to injury. As a result, among the little ones, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope became the most productive, scoring only 9 points. The effectiveness of the big ones, Nikola Jokic, scored 29 points, and Aaron Gordon, already 37, was not enough to win. The Nuggets, among other things, suffered their fourth away defeat in a row.

Expert Betting Tips

In this championship and the two previous seasons, all five full-time matches of the opponents turned out to be less productive. After the exchange of Mason Plumlee, Charlotte, who already had trouble with the big ones, still weakened on the three-second line. So Nikola Jokic and the other big Nuggets will have a lot of freedom, which they will use. We are betting on a convincing victory for Denver in an effective game.
