What you need to know about the Wizards
The Wizards’ recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their third straight loss. They took a 131-127 hit to the loss column at the hands of San Antonio. The Wizards didn’t live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
Even though they lost, the Wizards were smashing the offensive glass and finished the game with 14 offensive rebounds. That’s the most offensive rebounds they’ve managed all season.
What you need to know about the Nuggets
The Celtics typically have all the answers at home, but on Friday the Nuggets proved too difficult a challenge. They skirted past the Celtics 102-100. The victory came about thanks to a strong surge starting at the 3:30 mark of the second quarter when the Nuggets were facing a 58-46 deficit.
The Nuggets can attribute much of their success to Jamal Murray, who scored 35 points along with eight rebounds and five assists, and Nikola Jokic, who almost dropped a triple-double with 34 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists. For the season, Jokic is averaging 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game.
