Nuggets vs. Kings Prediction

The Nuggets have looked incredible for much of this season. Nikola Jokic in particular has shone brightly in recent games, even scoring a whopping 41 points against the Phoenix Suns. With Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon also dominating on the offensive end of the court, the Kings could be in for a rough night.

The Sacramento crew are having a tough time with a two-game slump that saw them lose to the ailing Wizards prior to the Nuggets. On defense, the Kings aren't great right now but, unlike the Denver outfit, their offense isn't explosive enough to make up for it. The Kings will have to essentially attack Jokic and Porter Jr. in particular on defense if they want any hope of getting some payback from last night.

Prediction: Nuggets -2.5 (-110)
