For the Nuggets, Nikola Jokic (knee), Christian Braun (ankle), Cam Johnson (knee), and Jonas Valanciunas (calf) are out.
What to watch for
The Wizards look to end their woes against the West with a quick rematch against the Nuggets. Washington has gone 0-6 in its ongoing stretch of games against foes from the opposing conference. The matchup against Denver at home is the team’s last shot to salvage a win before finally facing an East rival again.
Kyshawn George went off against the Nuggets, when they faced off last Saturday. He tallied 29 points on 10-of-20 shooting in the contest, including 14 points in the final period to make things interesting down the stretch, but it wasn’t enough as the Wiz lost 121-115.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Nuggets adjust defensively against George, and how the second-year swingman responds.
