- On Sunday at Ball Arena, the Charlotte Hornets defeated the Denver Nuggets 110-87 after Denver fell behind by 18 in the first quarter and 30 by the third, prompting limited minutes.
- Without Nikola Jokic and other regulars, the Nuggets played their 10th full game without a traditional center and were outscored 62-32 in the paint, exposing lineup gaps.

- Statistically, Denver lost the rebounding battle 61-36, leaving their interior issues unaddressed as they fall to 7-4 without Nikola Jokic before Tuesday.
