The Nuggets can't win on the road - 12-23 away from Pepsi Center - let alone defeat a good team on the road.

Not helping matters for Denver is Gary Harris, their leading scorer, remains out with a knee injury.

Even without John Wall, the Wizards are one of the top passing teams in the league. Denver ranks last in the NBA in defensive field goal percentage.

Washington has played five games in a row versus playoff teams. So this is a step down for the Wizards.

The Wizards have won the last three in the series, including beat the Nuggets in Denver back in October. Only once during its past six visits, has Denver won at Washington.
