#531 / 532 Nuggets vs Kings Under 231
Denver is starting to round into playoff form, winners of three-straight by an average of 17 points per game as they host the Kings tonight. These two went head-to-head two weeks ago in Denver with Sacramento coming away with a 102-98 win. This will be the fourth and final regular season matchup with the Kings going 3-0 so far. We do expect the Nuggets to avoid the regular season sweep but the line is just slightly too large considering how the Kings have performed against Denver, specifically this season. As a road underdog, the Kings are top five in the NBA at 10-6 against the spread. After a loss, Sacramento is 14-9 against the spread in its next game. Denver has gone 16-11 to the “under” when playing at home with Sacramento going 18-11-2 to the “under” when playing on the road.
