Sacramento Kings vs Denver Nuggets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/03/25

The Sacramento Kings head to Denver banged up and still searching for rhythm early in the season. With Malik Monk and Keegan Murray both out and Zach LaVine questionable due to back soreness, Sacramento’s depth will be stretched thin. This forces the Kings to rely heavily on Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan for offensive production. While Sacramento’s pace and offensive ceiling can keep it competitive, the defense — ranked near the bottom of the league — continues to be a glaring issue. The Kings have allowed nearly 120 points per game, and facing an offensive juggernaut on the road makes this an uphill battle for a team that has lacked consistency.

Denver, meanwhile, remains one of the league’s most disciplined and efficient squads — led once again by Nikola Jokic, who is averaging triple-double numbers to start the season. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon complement his play style well, while the Nuggets’ ball movement and spacing continue to be elite. Even with a few players nursing minor injuries, Denver has maintained its dominance at home — where altitude and execution make it one of the toughest outs in basketball. The Nuggets have covered double-digit spreads in similar matchups this year, especially against undermanned opponents. Given Sacramento’s lack of depth and defensive shortcomings, Denver should control this game from the opening tip and pull away late with superior depth and discipline.
