Considering the statistical strengths and recent performances of both teams, opting for the under appears to be the obvious choice for this matchup. The Denver Nuggets exhibit a robust defense, limiting opponents to a mere 111.0 points per game, a factor that should constrain the Sacramento Kings offense, particularly given the Kings' struggles on the road. In their previous encounter, the Kings decisively defeated the Nuggets at the Golden 1 Center, tallying 135 points on 46% shooting, including 20 points from free throws. Despite Denver only managing to score 106 points, the game still surpassed the set total of 230 points. I anticipate a much lower scoring game this time. I expect Denver to rectify its defensive vulnerabilities and address any leaks tonight. Wednesday will mark the third of four meetings between these two teams this season, with the Kings securing victories in the initial two matches.
As the Nuggets aim to rebound from their recent two-game losses, I anticipate their ability to set the pace and exploit Sacramento's defensive vulnerabilities with their efficient offense. This scenario makes it improbable for this game to develop into a high-scoring contest. Moreover, Denver's recent matchup against Milwaukee, where they were held to 95 points, emphasizes their susceptibility to strong defensive teams. Sacramento boasts the league's best defense in limiting offensive rebounds, which is likely to reduce Denver's scoring opportunities. With a strategic emphasis on defense, it's expected that the total score will fall below the oddsmakers' projections, with my analysis suggesting a combined range of 227-230 points. The Under is 34-16-1 in Nuggets last 51 games as a favorite.
