This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Nuggets/Kings.

Denver needs to make up some ground in the second half. It's 33-25 this year, but just 17-15 on the road.

Beating teams like Sacramento will be important in its quest back to the top of the ladder.

The Kings are 22-38 overall, and 15-17 at home.

Denver won five of its last six, including a tight 117-116 victory at Golden State as a 5.5-point dog in the final contest before the All Star game, while Sacramento lost its final two games, including a 125-118 setback at Chicago in its most recent.

When these teams played on January 27th, the Nuggets posted the 121-111 victory as 7.5-point favorites. That total sailed OVER the posted number of 225.5.

Now each team comes out of the break rested, but I say distracted and out of sync.

Note as well that Sacramento has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of its last ten in trying to revenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent.

This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
