Smart Game Analysis
Denver Nuggets has a 68% chance of winning the game
Despite missing Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets are favored to sweep the season series against a slumping Wizards team that has lost seven straight games.
Key Analysis
- • Denver is playing without Nikola Jokic (knee), which has led to them being significantly outrebounded in their last two losses.
- • Jamal Murray is the best active player and recently scored 28 points in the last head-to-head win.
- • Washington is missing their primary playmaker Trae Young (knee), severely limiting their offensive organization.
- • The Wizards possess the league's worst Net Rating (-10.9) and 29th ranked Defensive Rating.
- • Denver defeated Washington 121-115 just five days ago, proving they can win this specific matchup without their MVP.
- • Washington must exploit Denver's depleted frontcourt with Alex Sarr, who scored 28 points in his last outing.
