This is an 8* WEST-COAST EXPRESS on the Denver Nuggets.

I think the Kings have been playing over their heads so far this season and expect the revenge minded visitors to at the very least keep this one close enough to sneak in through the back door with the hand full of points they've been afforded. Sacramento held Denver to just 38.7 percent shooting in Monday's 110-105 road win. I think this sets up as a classic letdown spot for the home side though against this determined visiting side; note a continued bright spot Denver is the play of Kenneth Faried who totaled 17 points and 16 boards in the setback to the Kings after finishing with 22 points and 17 boards in an opening home win over the Pistons. Note that Denver is 11-8 ATS in its last 21 in revenging a home loss vs. an opponent, while Sacramento is just 6-11 ATS in its last 17 as a home favorite of 3 points or less. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends all point to DENVER as the sharp move in this one.
