Nuggets at Hornets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Nuggets 116, Hornets 107
Money line (ML)
The Nuggets (-250) will cost you two-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s a little expensive on the road.

Against the spread (ATS)
The NUGGETS -6 (-110) are the play in Buzz City, even though they’re on a two-game losing streak. The two losses and non-covers are against teams with championship aspirations, the Brooklyn Nets and Utah Jazz. They’ll have a little better time against the mediocre Hornets +6 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 219.5 (-110) is the lean here. Denver has averaged 119.5 PPG in the past two, while allowing 126.0 PPG. The Over has easily cashed in both. While Charlotte has had difficulty scoring the basketball lately, they have coughed up 112 or more points in each of the past three and six of the previous eight.
