Nuggets at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Nuggets 126, Kings 113
The Nuggets have only played in 3 away games this season, going 1-2, while the Kings are an unimpressive 2-3 at Golden 1 Center.
The Nuggets are 7-1 in their last 8 games, and their only single-digit win was over the Kings last week, beating them by 6 points.
The Kings have allowed 130.2 points per game over their last 6 games, allowing at least 130 points 4 times in that span. They are the only team to score more than 114 points against the Nuggets in Denver’s last 8 games.
The Nuggets should win, but the ML at -350 is not worth playing.

BET NUGGETS -8.5 (-110).
Their meeting in Denver had 254 total points. Three of the Kings’ last 5 games have surpassed 243 points.
