Spotlight on John Wall: It's been an up-and-down rookie season mostly because of injuries for the former Kentucky star. When healthy, he is among the best point guardsrookie or veteran in the NBA. Wall is averaging 15.1 points and 9.2 assists and scored 18 on Monday night against the Knicks.
Nuggets: Chris Andersen (knee and back) still needs more time to return to the team, but he is on the trip. . . . Denver is 9-6 against Eastern Conference teams this season. . . . Denver has won five of its past seven games against the Wizards at the Verizon Center in Washington.
Wizards: After a bad December — they lost 12 of 15 games, including seven in a row — the Wizards have improved in January. They are 5-7 this month after Monday's loss to the Knicks and have won three of their past six, including an 85-83 victory over Boston on Saturday.
