The current betting odds have the Nuggets listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nuggets have looked really good in their games this season with their 39-19 record overall which has them near the top of the West right now with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have also looked great on their home court all year with their 22-5 home record. Meanwhile, the Kings have also looked good in their games this season with their 33-24 record overall, but that only has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West, right on the cusp of a true playoff spot too. They have been a good road team with their 17-14 road record but they definitely haven't been at their best in these games. They haven't looked great in their games lately either as they have been really up and down lately, going 5-5 in their last 10 games while the Nuggets are 6-4. The Kings also lost some momentum with a loss in their last game while the Nuggets have been getting hot now with 3 wins in a row and the defending champions are really trying to climb the standings in the West with the number 1 seed up for grabs still. The Nuggets have been so good on their home court this year and they are going to roll the Kings in this game with the way each team has looked lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game.

“They came here and they played well both offensively and defensively. We have to be better. I can't turn the ball over like I did. But it's not like they didn't come in here and make tough shots.” - De’Aaron Fox after their loss against the Heat in their game on Monday.

“I felt for the first quarter and a half they were the aggressor, they had us on our heels and we were reacting to everything they did. For us to close out 14-0 and then to start the third 14-4, I think we kind of flipped the switch and we became the aggressor on both ends and stopped thinking and started playing with an attack mindset and an aggressive mindset, and I think that’s when we’re at our best.” - Micheal Malone after his team’s win against the Warriors in their game on Sunday.
