Sacramento Kings play good basketball these days, but the game in Denver will be a tough challenge for them. Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets are excellent too.
Sacramento Kings News
The Kings played last night, defeating the Warriors in San Francisco, 123-117. It was a tough match for both sides, but in the end, DeMar DeRozan was the reason why the guests triumphed. The veteran shooting guard scored 32 points.
By the way, the Kings won following a 17-point deficit at halftime. Right now, this team is full of confidence, having won nine of the previous 10 contests. So it’s no wonder why Sacramento climbed up to the eighth position in the West.
Denver Nuggets News
While Nikola Jokic chases his fourth NBA MVP award, his Nuggets are steadily improving form. Denver has three triumphs in a row; they are fourth in the conference, two games behind the second-seeded Rockets.
Jamal Murray’s inconsistency is still the biggest issue for the Nuggets, who must find a way to elevate his performance. In the most recent win, against the 76ers, 144-109, he scored nine points. A few days before, he had 45 vs. the Mavericks. For the moment, those oscillations can be covered, yet as the season goes by it will be much harder to do so.
Sacramento Kings vs. Denver Nuggets Head to Head
Midway through December, the Kings hosted the Nuggets and lost that one by one point, 120-119. This is the only game played between these teams this season.
Sacramento Kings vs. Denver Nuggets Betting Prediction
Let us remind you that the Kings are playing on the second of back-to-back nights. They had an exhausting game last night, while the Nuggets had two days to rest. That, and the fact that Denver plays very good at the Mile High, is why we pick them to win by at least 4.5 points.
