Denver at New Orleans

The Nuggets have been a vastly improved team from last season, but one area they still have not been able to fix is playing on the road vs the top teams. They have dropped their last five on the road vs teams with a winning record. The Hornets meanwhile are establishing the fact that if they get the big teams at home they win, except for the Lakers who took them down twice, but just one other team has beaten them at home, that has a winning record on the season. Not the right spot for the Nuggets to steal a road win, and I'll back the Hornets on the moneyline here.
