Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Denver Nuggets

Within the unsuccessful series, the team twice failed to cope with Sacramento - away 105:136, as well as at home 98:102. In addition, Denver, on the road, lost to Milwaukee 95:112. At the same time, it should be noted that the Nuggets do not have any tournament problems. The team from Colorado is in fourth place in the West and is unlikely to drop lower before the end of the regular season.

We'll mention Nikola Jokic's numbers separately. The Serbian is proving this season that he is one of the best basketball players in the world at the moment - 26.1 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game.

Washington Wizards

The Wizards, in the course of the championship, changed the head coach - Wes Anseld for Brian Keefe. Changes in the game of the team are visible, but the result has not come yet. Under the guidance of the new coach, Washington has 2:9.

The main problem of the capital team remains the game in defense. Keefe has not yet managed to pull the Wizards from the bottom of the defensive rankings. Conceding 123.9 points per game, Washington currently shares last place with Atlanta.

Expert Betting Tips

There is little doubt that Denver will beat Washington, especially after three straight losses to the Nuggets. Most likely, the team will not just succeed, but in an effort to rehabilitate themselves, they will do it as confidently as possible. The Wizards, having changed the coach, are progressing, but it is still unclear at the expense of what can stop the reigning champion on his court.
