T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets.

I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Wednesday. The Nuggets have looked really good lately and they have been getting really hot as we approach the playoffs. They just went through a mini 2 game slump but they have bounced back with a win against the 76ers in a road game and I think they can beat up on the Wizards in this game. They had won 4 games in a row before going into their mini 2 game slump and they had some good wins during that time. The Nuggets just stunted the new look 76ers with James Harden in the rotation and I think they should be able to carry over some momentum from that game into this game. The Wizards have been terrible lately and they are on the outside looking in at the moment. The Wizards have lost 4 games in a row and even their recently acquired Porzingis isn't enough to keep this team afloat. He was brought in to help the Wizards with their defense which they desperately need help with but he has had to focus more on offense and putting up points in their games in the absence of Bradley Beal. I think the Wizards are going to continue on their losing skid without Beal in their rotation since he is really the heart of this team. The Wizards have lost 4 games in a row but their 3 most recent games were all lost by 10+ points and I don't think being on their home court here is going to help them much against a team like the Nuggets who are starting to surge at the right time. The Wizards are clearly going to miss the playoffs at this rate and I expect the Nuggets to bury them even further with another win in this game. I like the Nuggets to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 120-107 Nuggets.
