Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

On paper, the Nuggets should make light work of the Nuggets. However, the Nuggets are on the end of a back-to-back, and they’ve failed to cover seven of their last 10 games. The Nuggets just had issues putting away the undermanned Lakers last night. I highly doubt the Nuggets are motivated to lay the wood on one of the worst teams in the league. It should be a win-and-get-out situation. Also, the Wizards have played their best ball of the season over the last month which includes an upset win over the Pistons as a double-digit underdog. The Wizards beat the Nuggets in December as a double-digit underdog. Give me the points.
