The Hornets - SIC Score 88.4 are coming off of a Sunday afternoon spoiling of Kyrie Irving’s home debut, but remain without veteran wing Gordon Hayward, who has missed the last 20 games with a left ankle sprain.
Otherwise, Charlotte, 39-36, is clicking at the right time, going 9-3 in March while averaging 118.6 points per game.
They have been one of the worst teams in the league on back-to-backs, posting a 1-12 record while allowing 123.3 points, 28.1 assists, 51.5 rebounds, and 29.3 free throw attempts per game on 0 days rest.
The Nuggets - SIC Score 82 come in with a 4-5 record over their last 9 games while they await the potential returns of Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr.
Joining Murray and Porter on the injured list are Zeke Nnaji, who continues to battles bilateral knee tendinopathy, and JaMychal Green, who suffered a right wrist sprain in Saturday’s win over the Thunder. Green, who is averaging 6.5 points and 4.2 rebounds on 47.6% shooting this season, is listed as questionable.
At the end of the day, the Nuggets’ live and die with big man Nikola Jokic, who has played 54 of the last 56 games and is averaging an absurd 30.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.7 blocks on 62.1% shooting over the last 12 contests.
Potential Plays:
Miles Bridges O19.5 Points - The forward has taken on more of the scoring load with Hayward out, has gone over this prop number in three of the last 5 games
Nikola Jokic U8.5 Assists - The big man has been the main facilitator in Denver this season but the Nuggets have received great play from interim PG Monte Morris who will likely chip into the Jokic assist total
