They are 1.5 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies for the first seed. 

Over the last ten games, the Nuggets are 6-4 and are 8-3 in the 11 games they have hosted in Colorado.   

If they can stay healthy, the Nuggets have a chance to be a contender. 

As for the Hornets, they come into the night as one of the worst teams in the NBA. 

They are 7-22 in their first 29 games, which has them as the 15th seed in the Eastern Conference. 

The Hornets are also in the middle of a seven-game losing streak and are 2-8 in the last ten games. 

On the road, they have gone 3-11 in the 14 games they have played outside of Charlotte, North Carolina.
