This is revenge time for the Wizards, who were emasculated by Denver to the tune of 118-92 in their own building as they got off to an 0-5 start to the season. But this team is not in the best of shape to accomplish that.
Washington is going through one of its worst stretches of the campaign, having gone winless, both straight-up and against the number, in the last five games. The team has gone 1-4 without Caron Butler, the All-Star forward who will travel to Denver for this game, but will most likely not play (it will be a game-time decision, it appears). Butler’s replacement, Andray Blatche, had 16 points and 15 rebounds against San Antonio on Wednesday, which is an encouraging sign. “Now, it’s character time,” says guard Antonio Daniels.
But in a league where some players rest up in regular season games JUST SO they can play in an All-Star game, character is a conditional thing. Let’s go with some hard data, which indicates that Washington has a scoring average of just under 87 points a game during the current five-game losing streak, with less than 40% shooting in three of those five. Without Butler, they’re not going to be able to bump and grind their way within the number. Carmelo Anthony seems to be back to high-octane for Denver, as his 29 points last time out against Utah would suggest.
We’ll lay the points with Denver, the 10.5-point favorite in the Top Sportsbooks NBA basketball betting odds.
