Betting on the Denver Nuggets
There’s a reason why the Nuggets are leading the Western Conference. Although they are dominant both home and away, they are a bit more inconsistent away from Denver, having failed to win their last three away games. Now, they’ll have two away games in a row against the Kings.
The team has several key injured players, such as Aaron Gordon, who usually contributes about 17.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. But anyway, as long as nothing happens to Nikola Jokić, who is contributing nearly 25.4 points, 11 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 1.5 steals, everything is fine. The first game of the series will be played on Tuesday night.
Betting on the Sacramento Kings
The Kings are doing well; not like the Nuggets, but they are doing well so far. At home, they have a winning record (9-6), but the last few home games have not been so positive, losing three of their last five. This is not an encouraging fact when playing against the leader.
Additionally, there will be an alarming absence for this game: Domantas Sabonis, who is injured. He was one of the most crucial players along with the rest of Sacramento’s squad, but his rebounding presence won’t be felt for a while due to a right-hand injury that will keep him out for an undetermined period of time. This Tuesday night, the first winner of the series will be determined in this match.
JefeBet Prediction
Since the Nuggets are a far superior team than the Kings are without Sabonis, and because no one can recover and pass the ball without his rebounds, we think the Nuggets will prevail in both series.
The Kings will lose a little more distance and not only will the gap with the Nuggets increase, but their closest pursuers could also slip away.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Moneyline.
