The Washington Wizards play the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. Let\u2019s get to it<\/p>\n
When: Saturday, Jan. 17 at 9 p.m. ET<\/p>\n
Where: Intuit Dome, Inglewood, CA<\/p>\n
How to watch: Monumental Sports Network<\/p>\n
Injuries: For the Wizards, Cam Whitmore (shoulder), Bilal Coulibaly (back) and Trae Young (quadriceps) are out. Khris Middleton and Tristan Vukcevic are day-to-day.<\/p>\n
For the Nuggets, Christian Braun (ankle), Nikola Jokic (knee), Jonas Valanciunas (calf), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Tamar Bates (foot) are out. Aaron Gordon, Bruce Bowen and Jamal Murray are day-to-day.<\/p>\n
This week has been tough for Wizards fans since the team is in the middle of a five game losing streak with no end in sight. Losing last night\/early this morning to the Sacramento Kings doesn\u2019t help things because that was the most winnable game on paper.<\/p>\n
Tonight, Washington will play a Denver team that is 28-13 and winners of five out of their last six games \u2014 and all of those games being decided by single digits. Franchise player Nikola Jokic and numerous others are out. But it will still be an uphill battle to get an upset on the second end of a back-to-back while the Nuggets have rested since last Wednesday when they beat the Dallas Mavericks, 118-109 on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards play the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.
