The Denver Nuggets are starting to put things together, but they're still a banged up team that has issues pulling away most nights, and they actually lose on the road by an average of 0.2 points. The Sacramento Kings made some moves before the deadline, got better roster wise, and they need to win games like this if they're going to sneak into a play in spot. The Kings need to take care of business in games like this at home. Give me the points here.
