West coast road trips are brutal in the NBA, but this line is definitely inflated considering it's only the first game of the back-to-back set. My simulations make the Wizards just +7 underdogs to the Nuggets. Bradley Beal is going to provide just enough to keep Washington within the number. Take the points!

Washington is beginning a four-game West Coast trip with a back-to-back set. Denver is riding a five-game winning streak and has captured the first three of its four-game homestand. That’s created a window of value for a Wizards team that will not let up on the offensive end. Take Washington in this one.
