The Denver Nuggets and the Charlotte Hornets are both in a bad place, one they did not think they would find themselves in. Denver may have the bigger issues over the longer haul as this was not a playoff team a year ago, and likely won't be again this year. Charlotte is off to a horrific start at 8-19, but six of those eight wins have come at home, and there are more tools on the court than wins on the season at this point. The Nuggets have been lacking a competitive nature on the road of late as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six. The Hornets have been a momntum team, one that is a crisp 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine off a double-digit win. I think they need a feel good win, and think that gets them ready to deliver another strong game in a winnable situattion at home. Make the play on Charlotte.
