The Nuggets are coming into this game with a 13-10 record this season and they have won their last 2 straight games, coming off of a 120-98 win against the Clippers in their last game, but they have not been playing that well this season. They have also struggled more on the road as they are 6-6 on the road and have actually lost 3 of their last 4 road games. They are going up against a Kings team that is 13-13 this season, but they have been playing much better in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games, scoring 140+ points in 2 of their last 3 games as well. They won their last game at home against the Jazz 141-97 and the Nuggets are a team that they have a lot of success against over the last year. They won 3 of the 4 meetings with the Nuggets last season, including both games in Sacramento, and their last meeting in Sacramento was a 135-106 win for the Kings as well. The Kings have been inconsistent this season, but they are finally starting to find their rhythm in recent games and they are a very difficult team to outscore when they are playing like this. The Nuggets have lost 3 of their last 4 games on the road and their offense has not been as good in those, being held under 115 points in 2 of their last 3, but their defense has also allowed 120+ points in 3 of their last 4 road games and that will be a problem here with the way the Kings have been shooting recently. The Kings have been hot recently and this is not a dominant Nuggets team this season, especially on the road. The Kings will cover the spread in this game.
