The Nuggets enter this contest riding high on an impressive 8-game winning streak, while the Hornets have struggled significantly, losing 37 of their last 50 games.

The Nuggets are heavy favorites, with a spread currently set at Nuggets -16.0. Their Moneyline stands at -1100, reflecting an implied win probability of 89%. In stark contrast, the Hornets, who pulled off a surprising upset against the Los Angeles Lakers in their last outing, have a Moneyline of +750, equating to an 11% implied win probability.
