KEY MATCHUP:
VS. 
Ty and Ray will have a challenge in rookie John Wall however the rest of the matchups are in the Nuggets favor and this is a game at home that the Nuggets should win. Nick Young is an explosive scorer so they must limit him and JaVale McGee is a solid athletic center, but Nene should be able to limit his production with his physicality if it returns from its 3 game absence. This is another game where depth should help if anyone decides to take the Wizards not as seriously as better teams. Hopefully this ends up like the last 4 games at home, although not as close as this last one.
