The Denver Nuggets took on the ailing Washington Wizards on the road tonight without the Wizards’ best player, Bradley Beal, who is recovering from a lower leg injury. The Nuggets still were not able to come away with the win, as Troy Brown Jr. took over in the first half and Ish Smith followed suit in the second. Jamal Murray did everything he could to will his team to the victory, finishing with 39 points on 13/19 shooting, but it was not enough to get the win.
The Nuggets got off to a good start after four quick points by Will Barton and five from Nikola Jokic, including a three pointer.
