The Washington Wizards head to Denver to play the Nuggets for the second time this season. They won the previous matchup last Wednesday by a two-basket margin after a thunderous second-quarter explosion. Washington will need to be firing on all offensive cylinders to get the road win here, as they’re heavy underdogs on NBA betting picks markets.

Wizards vs. Nuggets Game Info
Washington Wizards (11-18) at Denver Nuggets (17-14)
Date: Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021
Start Time: 9 p.m. EST
Venue: Ball Arena — Denver, Colo.
The Wizards scraped by with the win the last time these teams met, yet sportsbooks have them at a sizeable disadvantage heading into Round 2. Washington hasn’t been a particularly great team against the spread this season, as their 14-15 record against the spread ranks 14th worst. That said, the Nuggets have been worse; their 13-18 record against the spread ties them for third worst. Only the Rockets and Cavaliers have been worse performers against the spread.
While the trends don’t point to a ton of value against the spread, they do point to value on the game total. Denver’s over percentage of 67.7% ranks third-highest, and Washington’s over percentage of 55.2% ranks ninth-highest.

The books slightly disagree on the total tonight. If you expect the trends to hold water, and you’d like to side with the over, head to William Hill for the lowest total at the best juice. You could also add a half-point for moderately better juice at FanDuel Sportsbook or DraftKings Sportsbook. Should you expect a lower-scoring game, head to FanDuel Sportsbook for the highest total. If you’re okay with burning a half-point, PointsBet has no juice on the line. You can keep track of any line movement tonight directly through OddsShopper.
