Why Denver Nuggets are a good bet -6.5

The Denver Nuggets have been on fire, going 5-1 on the moneyline in their last 6 games. Although the loss was to Golden State, Denver didn’t let it burden them too long.

Why Washington Wizards are a good bet +6.5?

The Washington Wizards hasn’t played that well in recent games, going 1-3 on the moneyline. However, they could turn their form around against Denver on March 21.

Washington takes on their more accomplished foes at home. That’s excellent news because the Wizards are a terrific 22-14 against the spread in home games. Not only that, Trevor Ariza is listed as questionable, which means there’s a chance he could play. If Ariza suits up, the Wizards can upset the Nuggets on the moneyline. Even without Ariza they can keep this closer than the spread.
