Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The struggling Washington Wizards will get an up-close look at the defending champions when they host the Denver Nuggets on Sunday evening. This will be the second leg of a home back-to-back for Washington who played Saturday night in a 131-127 loss to San Antonio. It was the Wizards’ third loss in a row and their ninth in the last 10 games. The defeat brings Washington’s season record to seven wins and 33 losses, putting them 14th in the Eastern Conference and just 3.5 games ahead of the Detroit Pistons for the worst record in the entire league. It’s difficult to imagine the Wiz having much of a shot here giving how poor their defense has been this season. Washington ranks dead last in the NBA in terms of opponent points per game at 125.2 while also ranking 30th in adjusted defensive rating.
Denver comes to town looking for their second straight win and fourth win from the last five overall. After Nikola Jokic and his Nuggets teammates were outplayed by Joel Embiid’s 76ers in their duel last Tuesday, Denver would respond in the best possible manner. They picked up a massive win, beating the Celtics 102-100 at TD Garden on Friday to deal Boston their first home loss of the year. Jokic put together another gem of a game, dropping 34 points, grabbing 12 rebounds and dishing out nine assists. It’s these types of performances in these kinds of victories that go a long way in the mind of the voters when deciding the MVP award. The win sees Denver sitting third in the West with a record of 29 wins and 14 losses. It’s tight among the first four seeds in the Western Conference as Denver shares the same record with OKC and trails leaders Minnesota by only two games.

Our Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Nuggets come into this game as unsurprising heavy favorites. They just picked up a big win over Boston and will be playing their third of a five game road trip here. The danger for them will be treating this as a lookahead spot with the in-form Pacers on deck followed by the New York Knicks. Even with Washington on a back-to-back, this is simply too many points to be catching at home. The wins haven't been there for Washington lately but they haven't been too bad against the spread where they are just below .500 on the season. Our Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets prediction is for the Wizards +13.5.
