Denver Nuggets vs Sacramento Kings NBA Betting Preview
The good ole' fired coach spot. This isn’t actually a spot; teams have been roughly .500 in the last 10 years when they fired a coach midseason. Tobias Funke Voice: But it might just work for the Nuggets.
Talking to sources inside Denver, they’re expecting a full-on resurgence with the team finding a spark after the firing of Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth Tuesday. The team still loved Malone but wasn’t responding to him, and it was an open secret for the last few months.
I’m not expecting a spiteful revenge game tonight against the Kings, but you should look for players Malone preferred not to play because they were “Booth’s Guys” after he and the GM feuded over rotation decisions. Expect a longer leash for guys like Jalen Pickett and Julian Strawther, in particular.
I make this total in the 240s, and I have this line at Nuggets -3.2 with an added boost after the firing. So I’ll lay the points with Denver (no more, don’t want it at 4), play the over, and grab Jalen Pickett over 14.5 points, rebounds, and assists in a same game parlay.
