Getting destroyed by the Cleveland Cavaliers is nothing to be ashamed of, even if you are the Denver Nuggets. This was simply a bad game for the Nuggets as they took 22 three-pointers in a 12-point loss. This is a rebound situation for them as they face the inferior Wizards. A handful of players are on the injury report, including Dario Saric, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon. Nikola Jokic is healthy and playing well, that’s the most important thing at the moment.

To say that Washington doesn’t have much to offer right now would be an understatement. This team has lost 16 games in a row and failed to record a single win in November. There is also a long list of injuries on their roster, including Malcolm Brogdon, Kyle Kuzma, Saddiq Bey, Corey Kispert and several other rotation players. Washington’s last 10 losses have all been by double digits, and they have by far the worst net rating in the NBA at -16.0 points.

Obviously, it’s only a matter of time before this Wizards run comes to an end, but that shouldn’t happen against three-time MVP Jokic and his Nuggets. Denver needs to respond strongly here after the loss to Cleveland, they have won six straight against this team and covered five of those games. They have won 5 out of 7 away in Washington, so let’s hope they can continue their winning streak here.
