Nuggets at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 112, Nuggets 110
Moneyline
The Nuggets have been rolling, having won 8 of their last 9 games, and they picked up the win over the Kings Tuesday night. But the Kings are 9-7 at home and, while they have lost 2 straight there, they have not lost 3 straight home games since their 0-4 start to the season, dropping their 1st 3 home games.
BET KINGS (+110).
Against the spread
There are a couple of things working in the Kings’ favor. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games with no rest. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games against opponents with a winning road record.
But I see the Kings doing more than just covering the 2.5-point spread. I expect them to win outright, and with positive odds on the moneyline, that is the better play for the Kings.
PASS.
Over/Under
The projected total seems high. Tuesday night’s game between the 2 teams had 219 points. Only 1 of the last 6 meetings between the 2 teams has had more than 236 points.
The Under is 5-1 in the Nuggets’ last 6 games.
BET UNDER 236.5 (-115).
