Can the Denver Nuggets Harness Home Court Advantage Against the Charlotte Hornets?

As the Denver Nuggets prepare to host the Charlotte Hornets at Ball Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can capitalize on home court advantage. The upcoming clash, scheduled for January 2nd, promises to be an exciting encounter in the Mile High City.

The Nuggets have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings. In their last game against Oklahoma City Thunder, they suffered a disappointing loss with a final score of 93-119. Despite putting up a strong fight and recording an impressive 30 assists, turnovers proved costly as they gave up possession 17 times. Their shooting from beyond the arc was also lackluster at just 27 percent.

However, looking back at previous games offers some optimism for Nuggets supporters. A dominant victory over Memphis Grizzlies saw them triumph with a staggering scoreline of 142-105. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an exceptional 57 percent from the field and an even more impressive true shooting percentage of 70 percent.

Against Golden State Warriors, Denver managed another win with a score of 120-114. The team's efficiency game score was notable at nearly double that against Oklahoma City Thunder, indicating that when they click offensively and manage turnovers effectively, they are tough to beat.

As we approach this matchup against Charlotte Hornets at Ball Arena – where altitude has historically played into Denver's hands – it will be crucial for Coach Malone's squad to tighten up defensively while maintaining their offensive fluidity.
