Will Kings be able to withstand in Colorado on January 8? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Denver Nuggets

Denver still lacks consistency. Due to a terrible transfer policy Nuggets have not so many quality players. Team could've used some help from Michael Porter and Jamal Murray, but unfortunately they are injuried. Now Nuggets will rely on Nikola Jokic and Will Barton. Jokic is carrying the team forward, while Barton is looking terrible in some matches.

Denver lost two most recent matches. In the first one Malone's men suffered a defeat to Dallas (89:103). After that they also failed to avoid defeat in the match against Utah (109:115).

Sacramento Kings

Sacramento's board tried to do some changes, but team's performance is not improving. It is not important, who is team's head coach, Luke Walton or Alvin Gentry, Kings are unable to gain consistency. Team is currently at the 11th spot in the standings of the Western Conference. Kings are still fighting for the play-off zone, but it won't be easy to get there.

Sacramento's main problem is inconsistency. Kings are unable to launch a winning streak. In recent matches they managed to record a victory over Miami (115:113), but after that team suffered defeats to the Lakers (114:122) and Atlanta (102:108).

Tip and bets

TipTotal under 225

1.77

Denver is not a high-scoring team. Nuggets allowed 103,1 points per game at home matches. Michael Malone's men score a little more than that. We don't think that in a game against such team Sacramento will score many points. Kings are unable to crack up a skilled defense, so we are expecting a low-scoring match.

Our prediction - total under 225 points
