Notes from Gary Baines on tonight's contest against the Wizards.

Denver hopes to stop their 5 game losing streak.  To do that they need to make a few three's, shoot a high percentage, and take care of the basketball.

Punishing stat of the day:  Denver has turned the ball over at least 17 times in five of the last six games.

Tim Hardaway will start for the Nuggets tonight.  It will be his first game back since his television throwing incident vs. the Miami Heat.
