Prediction
Nuggets 109, Kings 96
Moneyline (ML)
The Nuggets (-500) are heavy favorites, but there is no way to justify laying such a high number for such a small return. Look to the spread instead.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The NUGGETS (-10.5, +105) and Kings (+10.5, -128) have split a pair of games played in California’s capital city. The Nuggs won 101-94 to cover a five-point number back on Oct. 28, and they fell 100-97 in overtime as four-point favorites back on Nov. 30.
The Nuggets will need to win by at least 11 points for a $10 bet to return a profit of $10.50.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 206.5 (-106) is the play, hitting in each of the first two meetings this season in Sacto. The Kings entered play this weekend ranked 13th in the NBA in scoring defense, while the Nuggets sport the NBA’s best scoring defense, as well as the best 3-point defensive percentage.
