Nuggets at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Wizards 121, Nuggets 114
Money line (ML)
The WIZARDS (+130) enter this one on a two-game win streak, topping the Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics. The Nuggets (-155) are coming off a tough 112-99 loss in Boston, and then they had to hop a plane for D.C. That’s a difficult turnaround, and they’re quite a bit banged up, too. As such, Washington is a tremendous value as short ‘dogs at home.

Against the spread (ATS)
The WIZARDS +3.5 (-110) have won outright and covered four of the past seven as an underdog, and they’re a respectable 3-2 ATS in the past five games overall. The Nuggets -3.5 (-110) are nicked up, with several key players on the injury report and uncertain to play. They were dusted in Boston by 13, and while a trip to D.C. should be a favorable situation, it isn’t a great spot on no rest. Go against the public and hit the underdog.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 232.5 (-110) is the play with Denver hitting in 10 of the past 14 on the road, while going 19-6-1 in the past 26 following a straight-up loss. While the Wizards are on a 6-2 Under run in the past eight, the Over has cashed in 10 of their past 14 at home, while going 5-2 in the past seven following a straight-up win.
