Kings vs. Nuggets – Chauncey is a beast

The Denver Nuggets journey home from a 2 point loss to the Houston Rockets on the road on Monday night to take on the woeful Sacramento Kings. Denver looked to have the game against the Rockets in the bag but failed in the closing minutes and suffered a loss. The Nuggets should be able to bounce back straight-up as their record of 27 and 15 is much better than the Kings’ straight-up record. Against the BetUS online betting spread, the Nuggets have gone 23-18-1 this season and 12-9-1 against the spread at home.

In the Sacramento Kings, the Denver Nuggets play a team that might not even warrant stepping onto the court against them. Sacramento is just terrible. They are 10 and 31 straight-up and 19 and 22 against the BetUS online betting spread. One glimmer of hope for the Kings is that they are 12 and 8 against the spread in their away games this season.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game.

Sacramento Kings +8 ½ -110 +350 O 217 ½ -110
Denver Nuggets -8 ½ -110 -450 U 217 ½ -110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The Sacramento Kings are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 games on the road.
The Over is 4 and 1 in the Sacramento Kings last 5 games overall.
The Denver Nuggets are 2 and 6 against the spread in their last 8 games following an against the spread win.
The Over is 4 and 1 in the Denver Nuggets last 5 games versus a Western Conference opponent.

The BetUS Total of 217 ½ is just too high for most NBA betting fans. It doesn’t warrant on online basketball bet because the Sacramento Kings would need to keep this game close and there’s little evidence that they will.

The last time these two teams met the Nuggets beat the Kings by a score of 118 to 85.

Granted, Denver did have the services of Carmelo Anthony in that game but the score speaks for itself. Denver just has the type of team that can absolutely pummel the Kings.

The -8 ½ online sportsbook betting line isn’t too high in my estimation. The Nuggets are smarting after their loss to the Rockets last night.

Watch them take the court and then take it out on the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. Chauncey Billups should have a field day against Sacramento’s guards and the Kings won’t be able to stop the Nuggets’ powerful inside game.

Kings vs. Nuggets Free Prediction:

I’m going with the Denver Nuggets to cover the -8 ½ point online wagering spread in this game.
