A tough one tonight for the Hornets as the Nuggets roll into town. Coming in with a 30-15 record, Denver are a game ahead of us in the standings, having won 10 of their last 13 despite losing Carmelo Anthony to a hand fracture earlier in the month.

The Nuggs cruised by the Grizzlies in Memphis last night. They’re 12-9 on the road this season, and 5-6 on the second night of back-to-backs. Our guys won in Denver on Thanksgiving but lost there on January 3.

Still no D-West available and with Tyson Chandler also on the IL the likes of Nene and Kenyon Martin will be tough to contain tonight. Methinks we’re better off as the underdog though.
