Nuggets vs. Hornets odds, line, spread: Proven model reveals NBA picks, predictions for Dec 23, 2021

The Charlotte Hornets have weathered the storm after having numerous players out while cooperating with the NBA's health and safety protocols, but they haven't had much success on the court the last few games. Even with a nearly full complement of players back in action, they've lost four of their last five games, and have another tough matchup on Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET at Denver. The Nuggets have won five of their last nine games, but are playing in the second game of a back-to-back after losing badly to Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. 

The Nuggets are 15-15 overall and 8-5 at home, while Charlotte is 16-17 overall and 8-13 on the road.
