Nuggets at Kings: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Nuggets 125, Kings 120
Money line (ML)
This is the second time in a week the two teams have met. The Kings are coming off a back-to-back against the Phoenix Suns, winning a close game in the first matchup and then losing by double digits in the second contest.
Sacramento beat Denver 124-122 in the season opener for both teams. The Nuggets have won seven of the last 10 matchups between the two and should bounce back.
Take the NUGGETS (-135) to win.
Against the spread (ATS)
The two teams have split 5-5 against the spread in their last 10 matchups. With only a 2.5-point spread, I expect the Nuggets to cover. Take the NUGGETS -2.5 (-105).
Over/Under (O/U)
The two teams combined for 246 points in the season opener and all three of Denver’s games have gone Over. Sacramento’s two games other than the opener have gone Under.
Denver scores a lot and gives up a lot as well. Last season, Sacramento’s Over percentage was 54.2 and Denver’s was 52.8. Take OVER 227.5 (-110).
