Denver returns home for this matchup with the Kings after a road game Monday night against the Warriors.
They are currently battling with the Kings for what would be the final playoff spot in the Western Conference so both teams are very well alive despite their struggles and poor records.
Sacramento Kings
The ability of DeMarcus Cousins makes the Kings a dangerous team to go out and beat any team on any night.

Cousins has the ability but not always the desire to dominate and the Kings have seen how well his success can lead to their team success.
The Kings could potentially be without Rudy Gay, Arron Afflalo, and Ty Lawson in this matchup which will make their success almost entirely dependent on Cousins.
Their statuses will have an impact on what the line is posted at but the key is all are battling injuries so even their presence won’t necessarily translate to production.

There’s an expectation that regardless of the status of the aforementioned players that the Kings will be working some of their young players like Skal Labissere and Malachi Richardson more playing time.
After winning four straight to get themselves into the top eight in the West, the Kings have responded with consecutive losses to Memphis and Portland.
The Kings go as Cousins goes and they could take advantage of Denver coming off a back-to-back with their fresh young legs.
Keep an eye on the status of Sacramento’s key players but believe that Cousins will be the focal point of the offense from start to finish either way.
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets are coming off a home loss where they allowed 124 to the 76ers and travelled to Oracle Arena on Monday night to take on the Warriors.
There have been some bright spots for Denver this season – coming from some of their young players. But, defense has not been one of those bright spots.

Going into Monday night’s game against the Warriors, Denver had allowed 100+ points in 10 straight games.
The Nuggets are averaging 107.8 points per game on the season and have found production from a variety of different players.
They have 6 players averaging 12 or more points per game so their balanced attack can be difficult to slow down.
They will have to rely on a number of their interior players to slow down Cousins as they don’t really have that dominant rim protector that will be glued to Cousins all game.
Denver could end up with key players getting rest Monday against the Warriors as the game has potential to be very lopsided.

Free Sacramento Kings vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
The status of Gay, Afflalo, and Lawson will dictate this game’s line and total but the best bet could end up being the over. Regardless of those players’ statuses, neither team likes playing defense and the Nuggets likely won’t have an answer for Cousins.
