The Denver Nuggets put their perfect home record on the line tonight as they welcome the New Orleans Hornets to the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets saw a four-game winning streak snapped with a 121-117 defeat in San Antonio on Saturday night, despite Danilo Gallinari matching his career-high with 31 points. But the 6-3 Nuggets are flawless in their first four games on their home floor. The Hornets are 2-6, with all six losses coming in succession after a 2-0 start. They lost to Dallas on the road 96-81 on Sunday night. This is the second meeting of the season between the Nuggets and the Hornets. Last Friday in New Orleans, the Nuggets got 23 points from Gallinari and used a 19-0 second-half run to erase a halftime deficit and knock off the Hornets 96-88. Tipoff tonight in Denver is set for 8 PM.
