Score Predictions for Hornets vs Nuggets

Our staff picks who will win tonight's matchup between Charlotte and Denver.

Schuyler Callihan: Nuggets 130, Hornets 115

There's nothing like traveling back home for the back end of a back-to-back and have the Denver Nuggets waiting for you. Charlotte's defense was abysmal in the loss to Boston last night, particularly on the perimeter as they allowed 25 made threes. Denver is No. 1 in the entire league in three-point percentage, shooting it at a 39.5% clip. Denver coasts to victory.

Matt Alquiza: Nuggets 125, Hornets 103

Second night of a back to back against the best team in the west…tonight may get ugly. Mark Williams and Nick Richards have their hands full against Jokic and I’m expecting a masterclass from the reigning MVP.

Ian Black: Nuggets 121, Hornets 108 

The post-trade deadline schedule certainly hasn’t been kind to the Hornets, but that’s okay. Now tied for the worst-record in the East, Charlotte is set up beautifully to play for the future. The Nuggets are just too efficient for Charlotte to keep up with a normal performance, but hopefully this can be one of many great learning opportunities for Mark Williams.
