Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (41-28) will take on Kristaps Porzingis and the Washington Wizards (29-38) in part of the NBA Wednesday slate.
In their previous outing, the Nuggets managed to take down the Philadelphia 76ers with 114-110 being the final score. Much of the attention was placed on the 2022 NBA MVP race given it was a matchup between Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid squaring off.
Jokic will look to continue his candidacy for MVP in a game that could very well feature Aaron Gordon being sidelined in addition to Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr.
It has been a disappointing season for the Wizards overall, but Kyle Kuzma has been a bright spot with averages of 17.3 points and 8.5 rebounds. Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzinigs is looking to showcase his talents during the stretch run of the season ahead of the offseason.
