The Denver Nuggets come into their 2020-21 NBA season matchup against the Washington Wizards on the back of a 13-point loss against the Boston Celtics. Nikola Jokic, who scored 43 points, was sensational but Denver were unable to build on their impressive victory over defending champions LA Lakers.
The Washington Wizards, on the other hand, have had a difficult time in the 2020-21 NBA season and are currently 14th in the Eastern Conference with an 8-17 record. They have struggled on both ends of the court despite the scoring exploits of Bradley Beal, who is currently averaging a league-leading 33.1 points per game.
