1.87Tip and bets
Washington did not live up to the fans' expectations at the start of the championship. The Wizards are repeating the anti-record for the number of defeats in a row from match to match. And there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Denver results are not very outstanding, but the Nuggets are gradually starting to cope with their game problems. In any case, Malone team will have to achieve a convincing victory over the main outsider of the season.
Our prediction is a Denver victory with a handicap of (-12.5) points, including overtime, at 1.80

Denver will put its best lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from the State of the Century shows good results this season. The average score is 117.1. And in home games it is almost the same - 117.6. And this time Malone charges will be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Denver individual total is over 124.5 points including overtime at 2.06
Bet on the first half
The Denver basketball players will start the game with Washington in a not very good mood after an unsuccessful trip to Ohio. There is no doubt that the Nuggets will try to achieve victory in order to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans. The players of Malone team will show who is the boss on the court from the first minutes of the match and seize the initiative.
Our prediction is a Denver win in the first half of the game at 1.29
