The Charlotte Hornets (14-39) western road trip continues on Thursday, this time visiting Denver to take on the Nuggets (36-19). This will be the second and final matchup between these teams this season, with the Nuggets having won the first game earlier this month in a narrow 107-104 victory.
What the BPI says
According to the ESPN Basketball Power Index (BPI) matchup predictor, the Hornets have just a 20.8% chance of coming away with a victory in tonight’s matchup. Three-time MVP- and current MVP frontrunner- Nikola Jokic is a nightmare matchup for this Hornets squad, making it quite clear why there is such a discrepancy in win probability between the two teams.
