Denver Nuggets vs Charlotte Hornets: prediction for the NBA match
Five previous head-to-head confrontations between these clubs ended in victories for the Nuggets. Charlotte last won in December 2018 and it was at home. The Denver Hornets last won in March 2017.
Denver Nuggets
Golden State continues to churn out victories. Steve Kerr’s charges have already won 25 matches. This allows them to rank second in the West. But the “warriors” are not going to stop there. Their goal is to advance to the playoffs early. More recently, the Warriors have allowed themselves to relax a little. Five days ago they unexpectedly lost to Toronto (100:119). But in the next match Golden State managed to rectify the situation. They left no chance for the Kings from Sacramento, defeating them with a score of 113:98.
Charlotte Hornets
Towards the middle of the season, Charlotte slowed down. For a long time, Borrego’s charges were not enough. Weak defensive play worsened the Hornets’ performance. In the last three matches the Hornets have looked disastrously bad. They lost to Portland (116:125), Phoenix (106:137) and Utah (102:112). This is how little by little Charlotte became one of the worst away teams in the league. They have suffered eight defeats in the last nine matches on foreign soil. By some miracle, they managed to beat San Antonio (131:115) and Atlanta (130:127).
Prediction
Denver has one of the best defensive lines in the league. At home, the Nuggets are conceding 101.3 points on average. But bookmakers for some reason believe that Charlotte will be able to break through the 113.5 mark. In the previous two confrontations with Phoenix and Utah, the Hornets did not score more than 106 points. But "Suns" and "Jazz" also boast reliable defense. Given this, we question Charlotte's capabilities. Our prediction is that individual total "Charlotte" is less than 113.5 points for the coefficient 1.87 in BC 1xBet. Charlotte have been looking too bad away lately. It seems that Borrego's charges have lost faith in themselves. In this case, we suggest giving preference to Denver. The second prediction is the victory of Denver, taking into account overtime for 1.61. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.87. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
