Sacramento Kings vs Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
The Kings saw monster nights from De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis on Tuesday, but it was not enough. Fox scored 40 points, and Sabonis added 35 points, 18 rebounds and 12 assists. They did not get a ton of help, as just two others scored in double figures.
On the season, Fox is scoring more than 26 per game, while Sabonis is at 20.2. Malik Monk is third on the team with 15.3 per game. The Kings as a team are scoring 118.7, which is 7th best in the league, but the defense is what has killed them, allowing 132 points per game over their last four losses.
When looking at the Sacramento Kings schedule – they will host the San Antonio Spurs coming out for the second half of the season. After that, they go to Los Angeles to take on the Clippers. They will then take on the Heat on February 26th, and play at Denver on February 28th.
When looking at NBA player stats, Nikola Jokic is putting up another incredible season for the Denver Nuggets. The big man is scoring more than 26 points per game while ripping down 12 rebounds and dishing out 9 assists. Jamal Murray is also putting together a great season, with more than 20 points per game.
Denver as a team is scoring 114.2 points per game. The Nuggets are one of the top shooting teams in the league, making more than 49% of their shots. Denver is also a very unselfish basketball team, dishing out 28.7 assists per game.
The Nuggets after the All-Star Break will play back-to-back road games. Denver is first at Portland on February 23rd, before heading to Golden State for a Sunday game. Denver then goes home for back-to-back home games against the Kings and Heat.
Sacramento Kings vs Denver Nuggets Betting Picks
The Denver Nuggets get back on track in the scores and odds. Sacramento is very up and down, but the Nuggets show that slow steady, and consistent wins this game. When we bet on this game, we are going to take on the defending NBA Champions. Playing back-to-back is not a good recipe for Sacramento here.
We like the Nuggets to score a bunch early and the Kings to sort of give up and play some other guys. Using Fox and Sabonis for that many minutes in a game they are losing does not seem like the best recipe for the Kings. Our final bet for the game on Wednesday is the Denver Nuggets -6.5 over the Sacramento Kings. Hope you enjoyed our look at the Kings vs Nuggets odds.
- Pick: Denver Nuggets -6.5.
