It’s been a week since the Nuggets have played a regular season game unless you are Nikola Jokic or Julian Strawther, who represented the team out in The Bay- San Francisco for the 2025 All-Star Weekend. Julian bid into the Rising Stars event after Portland Guard Scoot Henderson suffered an ankle injury preventing him from the games. Jokic teamed up with the leagues’ current greats such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, and Donovan Mitchell to form team Chuck for this past Sunday’s All-Star Tournament.
Will the Nuggets be able to come back from the break and extend their current 8-game win streak to nine? We here at Denver Sports Bettings certainly hope so. Returning at home the (36-19) Nuggets face off against the (14-39) Hornets, who come into this game with an impressive (100-97) win over the Los Angeles Lakers, even with the addition of Luka Doncic.
Both Miles Bridges and LaMelo Ball were dominant on the floor with a combined 56 points and followed through on the free throw line, a spot the Lakers couldn’t capitalize on all night finishing 8/12.
The last time the Nuggets hit the court they recorded back-to-back wins against Portland and landed them in 3rd in the Western Conference Standings and they come into this matchup with a fully healthy roster, unlike Charlotte who has LaMelo Ball out for injury management. A huge loss offensively for the star averaging 27.3 points per game. Jokic led the Nuggets with a Triple Double, and 1 block in their last match-up against the Hornets and looks to capitalize on their last meeting. Check out why this trend of blocks against the Hornets might be crucial in placing your next bet-
These back-to-back games won’t favor well for Charlotte well out on the West Coast. Defensively they will be exposed by the best big man in the league. Our expert Dillon @BetsinDenver, breaks down some trends with these teams that can help you cash in on some big-time money with this relay-style bet- Take a look:
