Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets have played their last two games at home against the same opponent - Portland, and both times they had no serious problems, winning 146:117 and then 132:121. In total, Michael Malone's team has eight straight wins. Denver had no serious opponents during this stretch, but the winning streak took shape. Among the direct conference rivals, the Nuggets managed on the road against Phoenix (122:105), and at home, they beat New Orleans twice (125:113 and 144:119).

Thus, Denver reached the balance of wins 36-19 and strengthened on the third line in the Western Conference. It should also be noted that the Nuggets have the third-best offense in the league today - 121.5 points scored on average per game. On defense, however, the Colorado team has had problems all season - allowing 115.9 points per game and ranking 23rd in efficiency rating.

Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets have already resumed the championship and Denver will play in a back-to-back format. Yesterday, Charles Lee's team completely unexpectedly outplayed the Lakers in Los Angeles - 100:97. Lamelo Ball, who returned to the court after an injury, scored 27 points, while Miles Bridges was the highest scorer for Charlotte with 29 points.

This win was just the second for Charlotte in the last 11 games. The team from North Carolina has only 14 wins in 53 games, and the Hornets are ahead of only Washington in the Eastern Conference standings.

H2H Meetings

The first face-to-face meeting between the rivals this season turned out to be very inconclusive and ended with an away victory for Denver - 107:104.
