No reason to be a bit reluctant to lay this many points given the teams involved. The reason? It's a chance to go against the Wizards, who are starting to draw comparisons to the 1972-73 Sixers (of 9-73 fame) with their losing streak now at 16 games and at 2-18 on the season...an 8-win pace. Moreover, Washington isn't even coming close, as all but one setback in the slump has been by double digits. The last five home games at Cap One have seen losing margins of 36 (vs Mavs), 25 (vs Clippers), 19 (vs Bulls), 12 (vs Celtics), and 20 (vs Pistons). The Nuggets might not have Jamal Murray for Saturday night but the do have the Joker and are anxious to bounce back after Thursday's loss to the Cavs. Denver has also recorded big wins by 19 (vs the Jazz) and 25 (vs the Lake Show) in the past two weeks.
