Nuggets Host Struggling Kings in Saturday Matchup

DENVER, Colo. — The Sacramento Kings (3-13) will face the Denver Nuggets (12-3) on Saturday, November 22, 2025, hoping to end a five-game road losing streak. The game will take place at Ball Arena, with a tip-off scheduled for 10 p.m. ET.

Denver enters the game as a 10.5-point favorite, with a total over/under set at 234.5 points. The Nuggets have won two consecutive games and nine of their last ten, while the Kings have lost eight straight games, including two against the Nuggets this season.

The Kings suffered a heavy defeat last Thursday, losing 137-96 to the Memphis Grizzlies as three-point road underdogs. Zach LaVine led Sacramento with 26 points, but no other player scored more than 12.

In contrast, the Nuggets achieved a narrow 112-109 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, with Nikola Jokic finishing with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. Their recent performances have made them a dominating team, giving them confidence heading into the matchup against the Kings.

In their previous meetings this season, the Nuggets have outscored the Kings 122-108 on the road and 130-124 at home. Sacramento’s chances look even slimmer as they will be without their key player, Domantas Sabonis, due to a knee injury. Expert predictions suggest the Nuggets will cover the spread, considering the Kings’ struggles.

With the teams’ current momentum, the Nuggets are expected to win decisively, making the spread of Nuggets -10.5 an appealing bet. The Kings have failed to cover the spread consistently during their losing streak, further indicating a rough night ahead.

The anticipated game promises to be a critical test for both teams, particularly for the Kings as they aim to break their losing streak.
