The Denver Nuggets and the Washington Wizards are set to battle it out at Ball Arena in an NBA cross-conference clash. The Nuggets are in second place in the Western Conference, while the Wizards are in 14th place in the Eastern Conference. Here's our match prediction.
The Denver Nuggets are the second best team in the Western Conference. The team has won 28 of their last 41 games so far.
In their latest match, they faced the Dallas Mavericks on the road. They managed to come out on top in a 118-109 victory. That result marked their third consecutive win.
The Nuggets have found their rhythm at the Ball Arena. After losing four straight games, they come into this match boasting five wins in seven games. Their recent triumph over the Bucks marked their third win in four games.
The Washington Wizards have not been at their best lately, which hardly comes as a surprise considering they are the second worst team in the East.
In their latest match, they faced the Sacramento Kings on the road. As expected, they suffered a 128-115 defeat, extending their losing streak to five games.
The Wizards enter the second night of a back-to-back, aiming to end that winless run. However, that should be easier said than done, having lost four consecutive matches on the road.
