LaMelo Ball, Hornets strive to end western trip with win vs. Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets hit a softer spot in their home schedule this weekend that projected as back-to-back wins, but that potential outcome nearly hit a snag Saturday night against the struggling Washington Wizards.

Less than 24 hours later, the Nuggets will face another Eastern Conference team with a losing record when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night.

Both teams are playing for the second time in as many nights; Charlotte lost at the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night.
