Denver has clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and Sacramento has the No. 3 locked up. The Nuggets have lost three in a row and five of six and Nikola Jokic has been hampered by a calf injury and has played in just two of the past six games and it's unlikely Denver will take a chance on him playing in this game. The Kings are in the playoffs for the first time since 2006 and they are 45-35-1 ATS on the season and they won the last meeting 127-126 on Dec. 28. Sacramento would prefer to head into the postseason with some momentum after shooting just 38.8 percent against Golden State on Friday and the Kings are 8-2 ATS following a loss and 19-8 ATS after losing by double digits. Sacramento has covered four of five at Denver and the Nuggets are just 2-5 ATS their past seven home games. Take the Kings.
