Charlotte
This looks like a tough matchup for the first-place Nuggets. Charlotte started the season by going 6-2 ATS at home while holding foes to a league best 88 PPG. Last Friday, the Bobcats suffered an embarrassing loss to the previously winless Nets, but quickly rebounded with a home victory over the equally pathetic Sixers. Over the last two seasons, they are 22-7 ATS when coming off a home win. Meanwhile, what makes this so tough for the Nuggets is that this will be their third road game in four nights. They are 110-147 ATS when playing on BB nights, 8-18 ATS if they were a road favorite in their previous game and 59-84 ATS away from home coming off BB ATS wins. Since 1996, NBA road teams playing their third road game in four nights off 4 or more SU wins are just 48-85 ATS. Denver is 0-3 ATS this season in game where they are favored by or getting less than three points. Take Charlotte.
