Charlotte at Denver

January 18, 2026
img8:00 PM Eastern

Both teams are playing on consecutive nights and injury-riddled Denver was fortunate to defeat lowly Washington 121-115 while not coming close to covering an 11-point spread. Now the Nuggets have to play a back-to-back with a depleted lineup against Charlotte, which boasts five double-figure scorers led by Lamelo Ball, who averages 20.2 points. The Hornets are #5 in the NBA in 3-point shooting percentage and they are 6-0 ATS following an ATS loss, 8-1 ATS after any loss. Charlotte has covered seven of its past eight games playing on no rest and it apparently didn't expend much energy while being routed 136-116 by Golden State last night. The Hornets are 6-1 ATS after a loss by at least 10 points. The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS their past five home games versus teams with less than .400 road winning percentages. Take the Hornets.

Denver has gone four games in a row without getting the money, and it lost the first three outright before finally defeating Philadelphia 137-134 on Friday night. Now the Nuggets have to play back-to-back and their fifth road game in eight days, and they're laying double digits. Charlotte is 4-0-1 ATS its past five games as a home underdog, including covering as a 13.5-point dog in a 112-104 loss to the Clippers last night. The Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their past four road contests, and Charlotte is 12-6 ATS in its past 18 February games. The Hornets are playing their sixth straight home game, while the Nuggets are travel-weary. Grab the big points with the Hornets.
