Sacramento Kings vs Denver Nuggets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/22/25

Losing Domantas Sabonis to a partially torn meniscus is the last thing the Sacramento Kings needed. It will be at least 4 weeks before he is re-evaluated, by then the Kings might find themselves bottom of the Western Conference if things don’t improve. With a 3-13 SU record, there are already rumblings around the league that the Kings are planning to rebuild. Head coach Doug Christie hasn’t been able to build chemistry this season; this team just isn’t a good fit overall.

This will be the third and final time the Nuggets and Kings will meet this season. Denver took both meetings fairly convincingly, a little over a week ago it won at the Golden 1 Center 122-108 behind a monster performance from Nikola Jokic, who had 35 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists in 33 minutes played. He did that going up against Sabonis down low — can you imagine his stat line in Saturday’s game without having to deal with him? Following Friday’s win in Houston, the Nuggets are flying high, My only concern is that they are playing on the second night of a back-to-back.

At 12.5 points, the spread looks big. After failing to cover against the Pelicans earlier this week and having just played the Rockets last night, I am not sure I trust the Nuggets in this spot. Sacramento isn’t the most efficient of teams, but it will look to run. The first meeting at Ball Arena saw 254 points; I’ll back the points in this one.

Kings vs Nuggets prediction: Over 236.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
