This Saturday night match-up will see the Denver Nuggets travel to Washington to take on the Wizards. This will be the second meeting between these two teams and the last of this season. In the first meeting, the Nuggets won 117-104.
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets come into this game as one of the top tier teams in the Western Conference. They are currently the second seed in the West, only trailing the Los Angeles Lakers.
A couple of games ago, the Nuggets were crushed in Houston 130-104, but bounced back with a 124-116 win over the Indiana Pacers. With that last win, the Nuggets have now won eight of their last ten games overall.
Offense is by no means the strength of this team. Denver is the 19th ranked scoring offense in the NBA and are averaging 108.6 points per game. They shoot the ball at 46% from the field, but from the three-point line, they shoot just 35.3%.
Leading the way for the Nuggets is Nikola Jokic. The big man is averaging 18.2 points per game, while also leading the team in rebounds with 9.8 per game. The Nuggets have four other guys who average at least 10 points per game, so they clearly enjoy having a balanced attack.
Most notably, their second best scorer is Jamal Murray. He is averaging 17.3 points per game.

Defensively, the Nuggets are one of the best in the entire league. They are allowing just 104.3 points per game. This is the second best scoring defense in the NBA. Furthermore, teams shoot a decent 45% from the field against them. However, the Nuggets have the best three-point defense, only allowing their opponents to shoot 32.2% from long range.
Washington Wizards
The Wizards have had a poor season to say the least and will be coming into this game on the second night of a back to back.
Offense for Washington has been their strong point, as they average 116.2 points per game. This gives the fourth best scoring offense in the NBA. However, most of their production comes from Bradley Beal. He is averaging 27.8 points per game, so without him, the Wizards would be even worse than they are now. Also, take into account that Beal is listed as questionable for Friday’s game, which means the same could be said for this game on Saturday.
Even if he does play, he is surely not going to be 100% and the rest of his team is going to have tired legs from playing the night before.
Defense for the Wizards has basically been non-existent this season. They are the worst scoring defense in the league, allowing 121 points per game. They also allow a league worst 49.1% from the field and the second worst three-point percent at 38.1%. Nothing about this defense gives me confidence that they will be able to stop Jokic and the Nuggets. This is especially true given they will have no rest.

Free Denver Nuggets vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
The Nuggets are the superior team and they will crush the Wizards on the road in this Saturday night showdown.
Bradley Beal is once again listed as questionable, so I find it hard to believe that the Wizards will be able to keep up in this game. Plus they just played last night and will have tired legs.
Then there is the Denver offense who is by no means explosive on a night to night basis. All that said, and the under is what I would be looking to play.
