After being off since Saturday night, the Denver Nuggets (16-10) are back in action tonight with the Washington Wizards (11-17) coming to town. The Nuggets’ long rest will be appreciated with four games in their next seven days. This seems like the first time all season that Denver has spent a significant number of days at home after being on the road for 16 of their first 26 games.
Denver has won back-to-back games after dropping three straight, and they’re looking to win their third straight to strengthen their spot in the standings with some tough opponents coming up on the schedule.
