Denver at Washington

Denver has won and covered the past four meetings and the teams meet for the first time this season. The Nuggets have won three of their past four games, including 102-100 over Boston on Friday night and it was the first home loss of the season for the Celtics. Jamal Murray scored 35 points and Nikola Jokic added 34 for Denver and the game featured 13 lead changes and eight ties. Washington had a rare victory on Jan. 13 and then the Wizards went back to losing three in a row and they are only 6-12 ATS at home. The Wizards are 7-34 on the season after losing 131-127 to lowly San Antonio last night and now they are playing a back-to-back and they are 2-6-1 ATS with no rest. Denver has covered seven of nine against teams with losing records and five of six versus teams with below .400 winning percentages. Take the Nuggets.
