Wednesday, March 16th, finds the Denver Nuggets and Washington Wizards playing for the second and final time this season. The initial match on December 13th was won by the Nuggets 113-107.
Both teams last played on Monday with the Nuggets defeating the 76ers 114-110 while the Wizards played the Warriors losing 112-126.
Last season, the squads played twice with the Wizards winning both contests. The Nuggets hold the all-time record having bested the Wizards in 54 of their 95 matches.
Denver Nuggets
In what was dubbed as a battle of MVP candidates the Nuggets were the team who left the arena smiling with the victory in hand over Philly.
Although Joel Embiid netted a better point tally it was the overall play of Nikola Jokic that allowed the Nuggets to capture the win.
Overall, Embiid scored more on Jokic but again, the Joker’s complete game and the impact he had on his teammates was the difference in the win. Jokic delivered a double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds along with eight assists, two steals, and two blocks.
Rookie Bone Hyland has been shooting well lately and is developing a knack for hitting 3-pointers at critical junctures in matches. He delivered 21 points and connected on four of his nine 3-point attempts.
If Jamal Murray returns to the court this season the prospect of having him on one wing and Hyland on the other must have head coach Michael Malone salivating not to mention Jokic who would be the player hitting them with the dimes if they are open.
The other double-figure scorers were Will Barton (20), Monte Morris (11), and JaMychal Green (10).
Jeff Green (wrist) is probable while Zeke Nnaji (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (foot) are questionable for Wednesday. Vlatko Cancar (foot), Jamal Murray (knee), and Michael Porter Jr. (back) are out indefinitely.
Washington Wizards
In their last match, the Wizards were the unlucky squad who got to experience the return of Draymond Green. It was the first time since Klay Thompson tore his ACL in game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Raptors that the trio of Green, Thompson, and Stephen Curry had played together.
The result was a 47 point night for Steph and 20 points for Klay along with an easy victory for the Dubs.
Six Wizards reached double-digit scoring led by Kristaps Porzingis who tallied 25 points and eight rebounds with four assists. Kenatavious Caldwell-Pope offered 19 points while Deni Avdija (13), Rui Hachimura (12), Kyle Kuzma (11), and Ish Smith (11) were the other double-figure contributors.
Although the Wizards shot well from deep (38.5%) they hit fewer triples (10) than the Warriors who shot 40% from deep connecting on 18 triples. The Wizards lost every quarter allowing Golden State to pull away with a 40 point second quarter.
Bradley Beal (wrist) had season-ending surgery.

Free Denver Nuggets vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
Although the Nuggets suffered some tough losses to the Warriors and Raptors they’ve fared well on the road (21-15) and are motivated to keep the Mavericks within striking distance. They currently trail them and the Jazz by 1.5 games for the fourth and fifth seeds.
Eight of their final 13 games are against teams with sub .500 records and they would need to pass Dallas and Utah to be seeded ahead because they lost both series to them.
