1st Quarter Report
Fortunes may be turning around for the Hornets after losing six in a row. After one quarter, neither squad has the contest in the bag, but the Hornets lead 27-25 over the Nuggets. The Hornets took a big hit to their ego on Wednesday, so a victory here would be a pleasant pick-me-up.
The Hornets came into the contest with some extra motivation after the loss they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off. We’ll see if they’re able to flip the script or if it’ll just be more of the same.

What to Know
The Nuggets are 8-2 against the Hornets since December of 2018, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success on Saturday. Having just played yesterday, the Denver Nuggets will head out on the road to face off against the Charlotte Hornets at 7:00 p.m. ET on December 23rd at Spectrum Center. The Hornets are crawling into this matchup hobbled by six consecutive losses, while the Nuggets will bounce in with three consecutive wins.
On Friday, Denver didn’t have too much breathing room in their match against Brooklyn, but they still walked away with a 122-117 win.
Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic were among the main playmakers for the Nuggets as the former scored 32 points along with nine assists and five rebounds and the latter dropped a double-double on 31 points and 11 rebounds. That’s the first time this season that Murray scored 30 or more points. Less helpful for the Nuggets was Reggie Jackson’s abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.
Meanwhile, the oddsmakers set the bar high, but the Hornets and the Pacers didn’t disappoint and broke past the 245.5 point over/under on Wednesday. Things couldn’t have gone much worse for Charlotte as they lost 144-113 to Indiana. The Hornets were surely aware of their disadvantage in the point spread, but the foreknowledge did nothing to prevent the result.
Denver’s victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 20-10. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 119.5 points per game. As for Charlotte, they have been struggling recently, as they’ve lost eight of their last nine matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-19 record this season.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Nuggets haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 11.2 turnovers per game (they’re ranked first in turnovers per game overall). However, it’s not like the Hornets struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging only 13.3 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
As for their next game, the Nuggets are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 8.5 points. This contest will be their ninth straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 6-2 against the spread).
