PREVIEW: The Denver Nuggets visit the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET , with the visitors looking to extend their dominance in this matchup. Denver has won their previous seven meetings against Charlotte , and the Nuggets have notched nine consecutive road victories, scoring 124.30 points per matchup while allowing 115.20. Denver's efficient 3-point shooting ranks 2nd league-wide and their solid free throw percentage of 83.1% places them 3rd , but their defensive rebounding struggles rank them 26th. The Nuggets won their last outing 134-133 against Atlanta, with Nikola Jokic scoring 40 points and Jamal Murray adding 23 . Charlotte will attempt to snap a challenging stretch while bolstered by recent positive results at home. The Hornets have captured two consecutive home wins, including a 111-86 victory over Toronto , though they allow high-quality 3-pointers on defense, ranking 29th in that category. Charlotte does limit 3-point attempts on the defensive end, ranking 4th with a 38.3% rate , but their rim attack efficiency ranks 26th and turnovers are a persistent problem at 26th. The Hornets will be missing key rotation players like LaMelo Ball and Collin Sexton , making this road test against a clicking Denver squad particularly daunting.
