Nuggets in a Make It or Break It Seeding Scenario
The Nuggets are sliding out of seeding. They have lost four straight and fired their head coach. They are also in the middle of a 4-way tie for 4th place in the Western Conference. In the worst case, this puts them at risk of falling out of the top 6 and into the play-in tournament. The Nuggets won the most recent meeting vs. the Kings 116-110 at home in Denver.
The Nuggets have won 4 in a row in this series while going 3-1 against the spread (ATS). This will be interim head coach David Adelman’s first game as head coach. On Tuesday, in a shocking move, the Nuggets dismissed both head coach Mike Malone and GM Calvin Booth. This team has all the makings of an epic collapse, but it will be up to this game for Denver to show how they will respond.
Sacramento Stabilizing and Responding to the Moment
Sacramento enters on a 3-game win streak, being 3-0 against the spread (ATS) as well. The most recent game was a win Monday 127-117 at the Detroit Pistons. Zach Lavine had a game-high 43 points. DeMar DeRozan scored 37 as the two combined for 80 points for the Kings. The point total did go over 233.5 in that game. In their last 10 games, the Kings are under the point total 7 times. The Kings have clinched a play-in spot either as the ninth or 10th seed, but both teams still have a lot to play for in this game.
Final Pick
Kings to cover the 1 point spread (-110). Also the point total to go under 233 (-110).
