Despite the loss of Domantas Sabonis to a hamstring injury the Kings arrive in Denver looking to sweep their four-game road trip.

Sacramento is looking to move up in the standings as they currently sit in the play-in portion of the bracket (8th) but are within reach of both the seventh seed (half game back) and sixth seed (one game back).

Kings Stats

To this point in the season, the Kings rank seventh offensively (115.6), and tied for 15th defensively (113.9), with a net differential of plus +1.7 ranking tied for 11th overall.

Sacramento rides well below the middle ground against the spread with a 25-34-1 performance through 60 games.

Kings Injury Report

To summarize the injury report…

• Domantas Sabonis, PF (OUT — hamstring)

Denver Nuggets

Following the nine-game win streak the Nuggets have struggled a bit losing three of their last five matches. Without Aaron Gordon on Sunday they kept the Celtics in check only succumbing at the end of the match.

The good news is their youngsters impressed not wilting under the pressure and that was without Peyton Watson who next to Gordon is one of their best defenders.

Denver ranks second offensively (119.3) and tied for 15th defensively (113.9) with a net differential of plus +5.4 which ranks fifth overall.

Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 31-29-1 record through 61 contests.

Nuggets Injury Report

To summarize the injury report…

• Aaron Gordon, PF (questionable — ankle)
• PJ Hall, C (day-to-day — undisclosed)
• Peyton Watson, F (OUT — knee)
• Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)
• DaRon Holmes II, C (OUT)

Kings vs. Nuggets NBA Betting Trends:

• All in all, the Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
• The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Sacramento’s last 5 games.
• Also, the Kings are 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games against Denver.
• By comparison, Denver is 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games.
• The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Denver’s last 5 games.
• Additionally, the Nuggets are 11-3 SU in their last 14 games.

Free NBA Prediction:

Not having Sabonis wasn’t ideal but facing the likes of Nikola Jokic will be far more challenging for the Kings. Jokic has the most triple-doubles in the association and is third overall in rebounding so the glass could factor in this match.

Although I like the Nuggets to win (especially following a loss) I also like the points so take Denver to win but also take the 6.5 points.
