Our Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

The Nuggets are a decent-sized favorite in this game; however, still look to be the best betting option. 

It is true that Denver is dealing with quite a few injuries, including Nikola Jokic, who remains out. That being said, Denver is 17-7 on the road this season, and has won each of their last four road games in a row.

Meanwhile, Washington has been terrible this season. Not only are they 2-8 over their last 10 games, but they are winless in their last 7 games. Add in the fact that the Wizards are 6-14 in home games this season, our Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets prediction is: Denver Nuggets ML.
