Thursday’s NBA Prediction
SACRAMENTO, CA (TheSpread) – The Denver Nuggets look to beat the worst team in the NBA on Thursday as they take on the Sacramento Kings. Here is a breakdown of my pick for this game.
Denver is 20-14 on the season but just 5-11 on the road. The Nuggets have split their last 10 games. Sacramento is 7-25 on the year and 5-15 at home. The Kings have lost 8 of their last 10 games.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have released their odds for this game and they have made the Nuggets a 4.5-point favorite at Sacramento. The over/under total has been set at 209 points. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:

The home team has covered the spread in 5 of the last 7 games in this series while the Nuggets are just 4-11-3 ATS in their last 17 games in Sacramento. The under has hit in 4 of the last 5 games played between these two teams. My pick is with the Kings at home as the Nuggets struggle on the road and I think Sacramento can keep it tight.
