The Denver Nuggets travel to the nation’s capital for a Thursday road game against the Washington Wizards at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C.
The Denver Nuggets are heating up just in time for one final push. The Nuggets have won four in a row and they sit at 2nd place in the Western Conference, just one-half game behind the Golden State Warriors. In their last game, the Nuggets beat the Boston Celtics 114-105 in Boston to also improve their Northwest Division lead over Portland to 4.5 games.

Washington’s slim playoff hopes suffered a setback when the Wizards lost to a short-handed Chicago Bulls team on Wednesday night. Washington entered Wednesday 4.5 games back of the Miami Heat for the final playoff slot in the East. Bradley Beal has averaged 27.7 points and 6.8 assists per game in their last 10 games but Washington has only managed ta 5-5 split.

Who Wins?
Denver is 6-4 SU in their last 10 games played. The Nuggets are 2-2 SU in their last four games on the road. Washington is 5-5 SU in their last 10 games played. The Wizards are 5-2 SU in their last seven home games. Head to head, the Wizards are 3-1 in their last four games against the Nuggets. However, Denver is 10-5 in their last 15 road games against the Wizards.
The Nuggets aren’t the same team on the road as they are at home. Denver is just 17-16 SU on the road but are 30-6 SU at home. The Wizards are 22-14 SU at home and look like a good bet here. But Washington is coming off a deflating loss to the Chicago Bulls the night before and Denver should take advantage of that and win this game. This game is as important to the Nuggets who are chasing Golden State as it is to the Wizards who are still hoping they can enter the playoffs via the backdoor. I’m picking the Denver Nuggets to beat the Washington Wizards on 3/21/19.

Odds from betonline.ag as of 3/21/19
Denver is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games when playing on two days rest, 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and 5-2 ATS in their last seven Thursday games. Washington is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games when playing on zero days rest, 5-2 ATS in their last seven games at home and 7-2 in their last nine games overall. Both teams are playing well against the spread but I think the momentum of Denver’s four-game win streak wins this for them. Prediction: Nuggets -6.5
The total has gone under in nine out of the last 10 games played by the Nuggets. The under is 4-0 in Denver’s last four games on the road. The under is 6-4 in the Wizards’ last 10 games played. Washington has seen the total go under in four out of their last seven games at home.
