Denver Regaining Balance, Washington Freefalls
Nuggets Look for Third Win in Four Games
The Denver Nuggets fell into a four-game losing streak a couple of weeks ago but have since won two out of their past three. On a bigger scale, if you’ve seen the NBA news, they remain losers in five of their last seven. The question is: are they out of their downtrend?
They take on the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, a team that has just 32 wins on the season. Which team is the best bet in this spot?
Nuggets Looking to Regain Identity Before Playoffs
Despite the defensive issues in the past month or so, the Nuggets still have the talent to turn this around. They’re the No. 1 seed in the West but those who bet online haven’t seen them perform like it over the last few weeks.
It all starts from the center position, with Nikola Jokoic on track to win yet another MVP award. Jokic is putting up 24.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 9.9 assists per game this year.
Outside of him, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter, and Aaron Gordon are all averaging over 16.5 points per game in secondary offensive roles. The challenge has been that their defense has fallen off a cliff.
Denver is 19th in opponent field goal percentage over their last 10 games. Overs have been a good option for NBA betting purposes with their games.
Wizards Fading Down the Strech
The Wizards have had a difficult time defending home court over the past month. They’ve had seven home games in March, winning just two.
At 32-40, you’d think their season would be over, but they are, in fact, just 2.5 games out of a play-in playoff spot. If you’re looking at the NBA odds here, note that they still have something to play for.
The challenge here is that they’re free-falling. Do you really want to bet on a team in the sportsbook that has lost three straight and eight of 10? That’s the concern here.

Wizards vs Nuggets Previous (Dec. 14, 2022)
It feels like this game might be a little one-sided and the sportsbook odds indicate that. Denver won both matchups against the Wizards a season ago and is performing far better as of late.
The duo of Jokic and Murray continue to dominate opposing defenses while the Wizards struggle for answers without their stars. The Nuggets are the best 3-point shooting team in the league while the Wizards rank 23rd in opponent field goal percentage.
It’s a big number but the Nuggets are the right choice for your NBA picks.
