What you need to know about the Nuggets
The Nuggets strolled past the San Antonio Spurs with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the contest 127-112. Reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, with a near triple-double on 35 points, 17 rebounds, and eight assists.
Jokic continues to play at an elite level, and is actually on pace to statistically have a better season this year than he had in his MVP campaign a year ago. Power forward Aaron Gordon has been on a roll as of late, averaging 17.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assist per game in Denver's last four contests. The Nuggets are 10-15 against the spread this season.
What you need to know about the Wizards
Meanwhile, Washington's game against the Utah Jazz this past Saturday was up for grabs at halftime, but the Wizards were thoroughly outmatched as evident by the 73-47 score in the second half. All said, Washington found themselves as the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 123-98 punch to the gut against Utah. Shooting guard Bradley Beal (21 points) was the top scorer for the Wizards.
The Wizards will surely miss Kuzma, but they still hold a backcourt advantage in this matchup. Beal and PG Spencer Dinwiddie will present matchup issues for Denver. Washington is 12-13-1 against the spread in 2021-22.
