The set-up: Neither team is really known for its offensive explosiveness, but for a number of different reasons I think each will combine to push this number over the posted number once it's all said and done. Denver is rolling and it'll look to keep the foot on the gas after winning ten of their last 11 and six straight. The Kings play with revenge here after falling 101-94 in Denver earlier in the season. Denver won't be rolling over though obviously after getting the better of Washington 117-104 last time out.

The pick: Since their loss to Denver, Sacramento has scored at least 100 points in each of its last five home games. WIth revenge on their minds, I expect the hungry Kings to set the early pace and to push it from the opening tip, until the final horn. This number is a tad low, play the over.

10* TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST on the OVER Nuggets/Kings.
