Washington @ Denver
Current Records: Washington 15-12; Denver 13-13
What to Know
The Washington Wizards will take on the Denver Nuggets at 9 p.m. ET on Monday at Ball Arena. Denver should still be riding high after a win, while the Wizards will be looking to right the ship.
Washington’s and the Utah Jazz’s matchup this past Saturday was up for grabs at halftime, but Washington was thoroughly outmatched 73-47 in the second half. Washington ended up on the wrong side of a painful 123-98 walloping at Utah’s hands. Shooting guard Bradley Beal (21 points) was the top scorer for Washington.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets strolled past the San Antonio Spurs with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the game 127-112. It was another big night for Denver’s center Nikola Jokic, who almost dropped a triple-double on 35 points, 17 rebounds, and eight dimes. That makes it nine consecutive games in which Jokic has had at least ten rebounds.
Washington is expected to lose this next one by 3. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past five games, so buyers beware.
Washington is now 15-12 while Denver sits at 13-13. The Nuggets are 6-6 after wins this year, and the Wizards are 6-5 after losses.
