Nuggets at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 124, Kings 109

Moneyline

The Nuggets are 15-12 on the road this season and 4-2 in their last 6 away games. Denver is 6-3 playing on no rest this season and has allowed 109 or fewer points in 9 of its last 10 games overall.

The Kings have allowed over 130 points in consecutive games.

BET NUGGETS (+105).

Against the spread

The Kings are the better team ATS this season; they are 26-23-1 ATS overall and 10-13 ATS at home.

The Nuggets are 22-29-1 ATS overall and 10-16-1 ATS on the road. They are 3-3 ATS as road dogs.

However, you can't ignore the way the Kings are giving up points in the last 2 games.

The Nuggets have only one 1-point loss this season, and that is the only way to lose and still cover the spread, so it is better to go with the plus-odds on the ML rather than taking the points.

PASS.

Over/Under

This an interesting matchup for the total.

The Kings have allowed over 130 points in their last 2 games, and their last 4 games have had totals surpassing the projection for this game. Seven of their last 10 would have hit the Over with this projection.

However, none of the Nuggets' last 10 games have reached 234 points. They have allowed only 106.9 points per game over their last 10.

It should be close, but I LEAN UNDER 233.5 (-115).
