Prediction published on 1/22/25, 7:48 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 1/22/25 at 8:09 PM in NBA Picks

Nuggets will host the Kings at Ball Arena on Thursday, having won their last three games. The Nuggets beat the 76ers 144-109 on Tuesday, matching their highest-scoring game this season. Denver was favored by 11.5 points at the betting sites to beat the Sixers, so they won by covering the spread and their ATS record was then 22-20-1.

Already leading in the first half, a 40-27 third quarter in favor of the Nuggets sealed the game. Jokic seems to be making another strong case for another MVP each game, as he recorded his 19th triple-double of the season against the 76ers, in addition to having 4 steals. Denver's defense also played very resolute, committing only 10 personal fouls, and on the counterattack they caught the 76ers off guard several times as they registered up to 37 points in Fast Break. Westbrook contributed to the cause with 11 points in 25 minutes on the court and Gordon went 6-for-7 from the field and made all 3 of his three-point attempts.

In addition to being home court, the Nuggets will have the rest advantage against the Kings, as Sacramento will play consecutive nights after hosting the Warriors at the Golden 1 Center.
