The Washington Wizards play host to the Denver Nuggets at the Capital One Arena in the NBA on Thursday night. The Wizards (10-32) are 14th in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Nuggets (29-15) are third in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Washington Wizards are one of the coldest teams in the league right now, and suffered their seventh consecutive defeat on Monday night, going down 110-106 to the LA Clippers.
Alexandre Sarr was the standout performer against the Clippers with 28 points. We are still awaiting the debut of Trae Young, and it will be interesting to see what type of impact he will have on the team.
Washington are 6-14 at home this season and lost to this opponent on the road by six points last weekend. Young, Khris Middleton and Bilal Coulibaly are ruled out for this match.
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets will look to get back in the win column tonight after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers 115-107 on Tuesday, following a 110-87 defeat to the Charlotte Hornets.
The Nuggets have been heavily impacted by the absence of Nikola Jokic. Jamal Murray has not produced consistently enough, and for now, Denver’s main aim is to keep up with Conference leaders until their best player returns.
The visitors are 17-7 on the road this season, but they will be without Jokic, Cameron Johnson and Christian Braun for this match, while Jonas Valanciunas is listed as questionable.

Our Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Washington Wizards were decent in the first half against the Clippers, but defensive lapses have been common for them this season (second-worst defensive rating in the NBA), and that was the case in their last match, which cost them a seventh straight loss.
The Nuggets are certainly not at their best due in large part to their injury situation at present, but they beat this opponent by six a few days ago and will fancy notching up another victory here against the team with the longest losing streak in the league. Our Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets prediction is Denver Nuggets -5.5.
