#543 Sacramento Kings +6 over Denver Nuggets 8:10 PM CT

Denver has snuck into the #3 position in the Western Conference standings with Memphis and Houston on losing streaks. The Nuggets are 20-9 S/U at home this season and the Nuggets are 11-3 since January 31. Few of those wins are worth mentioning, however, with the best wins at Phoenix or at Indiana, with Denver just 2-3 in the past five games as the schedule has stiffened. The Nuggets are 2-0 vs. the Kings this season but both games were close, and this is the first game back at home after a four-game road trip for a possible flat spot for the Nuggets, especially with high-profile games on the horizon in early March. Sacramento has endured a tumultuous season with a coaching change and major roster moves but the Kings are 7-2 S/U in the past nine games with four road wins, including a 3-0 run on this road trip with wins in Houston and Dallas. The Kings are in the #8 position in the Western Conference but are only one game out of the #6 spot as this is a team that has plenty to play for in the final six weeks of the regular season. The Kings are 5-1 S/U in the past six road games and a winning team on the season away from home. On the season the Kings are the superior defensive scoring team in this matchup and on the current road trip the Kings have allowed fewer than 101 points per game on average. Denver in contrast has allowed at least 110 points in eight consecutive games.
