Nuggets at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 124, Kings 116

Moneyline

While the Nuggets should secure a win on the road, PASS on the moneyline in this game. I’d be comfortable taking Denver to win at -140 or better odds, but you can take the Nuggets to come away with a victory in parlays at the current odds.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -3.5 (-108) is an easy choice for me in this game considering how these teams have been playing recently. Also, Sabonis is questionable to play and even if he does play, he’ll be tasked with trying to defend C Nikola Jokic with an injured hand.

Despite all of the trends pointing toward the Kings covering the spread, the Nuggets have won 4 straight meetings and they won by at least 4 points in each of those wins.

Over/Under

Even if Sabonis is ruled out, OVER 238.5 (-110) is an enticing wager with both teams being top 7 in offensive rating. If you aren’t comfortable taking the Over at the current total, you can wait to see if it comes down due to Sabonis’ status.

The Kings have gone Over in 5 of their last 6 home games against a team with a winning road record and are 9-2-1 to the Over in their last 12 home games. The Nuggets and the Kings have also hit the Over in 6 of their last 8 meetings.

Nuggets at Kings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Kings 123, Nuggets 119

Money line (ML)

The KINGS (+125) are a value play at home as short ‘dogs. Yes, it was back in December, but Sacramento topped the Nuggets (-150) 124-122 in overtime in the Mile High City Dec. 23, and again Dec. 29 at Golden 1 Center by a 125-115 score. The Kings have won five of the past six straight up, and they’re playing good ball. Take advantage.

Against the spread (ATS)

The KINGS +2.5 (-105) are catching nearly two buckets on their home floor, and they’re the hotter team. Not only are they 2-0 SU/ATS this season against the Nuggets -2.5 (-115), they enter on a six-game cover streak, including a 4-0 ATS run as underdogs. Meanwhile, Denver was roughed up on the road against the Lakers by a 114-93 score, and they’re 1-2 ATS in the past three after a 5-0 ATS run.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 228.5 (-110) is a big number, but all trends point to the Over both on the teams’ side and head-to-head.

The Over has cashed in nine of the past 12 on the road, and they’re 16-5 in the past 21 as a road favorite. The Over is 4-0 in Sac Town’s past four as a home ‘dog and 5-1 in the past six at home. The Over is also 7-2 in the past nine in this series.
