LiontipsSacramento vs Denver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
New players didn't bring positive results to Sacramento. Domantas Sabonis is trying to do something, but a former Indiana player is unsuccessful so far. Kings are still too inconsistent. In two latest matches they were beaten by Dallas (113:114) and New York (115:131).
Despite their recent failures, Kings still have a chance for the play-in spot. So far they have 24 victories to their name. Californian team is three victories away from the 10th-placed New Orleans. But Pelicans have two games in hand.
It seems like Denver has everything to keep going. Mike Malone's men are crushing one opponent after another. In ten latest matches the Nuggets recorded nine victories. That great performance helped the Nuggets to keep a 6th spot in the Western Conference standings. They are still two victories clear of the nearest competitor.
Denver looked incredible in recent matches. The Nuggets left no chance to Houston (116:101), New Orleans (138:130) and Golden State (131:124).

Tip and bets
A match against the Nuggets is probably the last chance for the Kings to stay in contention for play-in spot. Undoubtedly, Kings will do everything to secure a victory here. Nuggets will have to play without Barton, so their offensive potential will be decreased. Taking that into account, we are expecting the hosts to put up a good fight.
Our prediction - Handicap (+6) points for Sacramento
Sacramento was always a high-scoring team, but Kings are not disciplined on defense. Denver also managed to improve in recent matches. We are expecting a high-scoring game here.
Our second bet is on total over 233,5 points
