In order to maintain its dominance, the leader of the West must defeat its direct competitors. The Nuggets have a 17-7 record within their conference. Specifically, they have currently won four straight games and are getting better every day.
Obviously, Nikola Jokić’s high level is a contributing factor in the Nuggets’ success. He had a stunning triple double against the Suns with 41 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists.
Playing away, the Nuggets have a 9-8 record. They are the best away team in the West, only surpassed in wins by the Trail Blazers (10-10). There’s a reason why they are the best in the conference. The thing is, losing would get them into trouble, with the Pelicans just one game out of first place.
Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Season record: 17-14
- BetMGM Spread: (Undefined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (Undefined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (Undefined)
Out of the last five meetings, the Kings have won three. They are not being consistent, and that is exactly what they need in order to catch up with all the teams that are above them. Notably, they’re having a hard time playing against their conference, having a 6-6 record against Western opponents.
Among their strong cards is Domantas Sabonis, who continues to be an animal when it comes to rebounding: in the 125-119 loss to Charlotte, he grabbed the backboard more than anyone else 23 times. In the last 10 games, he averaged 16.1 boards per game.
They now have a 9-6 record at home, where they typically perform at their best. They will take advantage of this as an opportunity to get closer to the Nuggets. This conference is quite challenging.
JefeBet Prediction
Even though Sabonis will dominate the boards and be unquestionably decisive, they will not be able to defeat a squad as reliable as Denver. The Nuggets with Jokic are a far better team and will ultimately win.
The Kings will lose a little bit of distance, but unfortunately they are not as consistent as the Nuggets, who are a great team.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Moneyline.
