Charlotte at Denver

Long losing streaks lead to inflated pointspreads, and the Denver Nuggets have been issued a tall task by the oddsmakers in this one. Charlotte has now lost 14 straight games, but as a team have already equaled last year's win total, so don't assume that this team will just lay down. Last year's team won seven games all season, and the largest line they played to was +15.5. Denver isn't even in the top of the NBA's elite teams. In fact, the Nuggets have an awful defense, allowing 101 points per game. They are barely outscoring opponents on the season and they are barely above .500. Take the generous points here.
