Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets head-to-head record
Based on the last five games, the Nuggets have definitely had the advantage against the Kings, taking four of them. After a run of high-scoring games, including a thrilling 130-129 triumph on December 17, 2024, and a 132-123 victory on January 24, Denver most recently defeated Sacramento 116-110 on March 6, 2025.
The sole Kings victory within this time frame occurred on February 15, 2024, more than a year ago, by a score of 102-98. The Nuggets enter this game with a psychological advantage and a tried-and-true strategy since Nikola Jokic routinely produces MVP-caliber statistics, and Denver has demonstrated the ability to outperform Sacramento in close games.
The Kings could, however, eventually turn around their prior troubles against Denver if they can tighten up defensively and receive another strong scoring performance from Zach LaVine or DeMar DeRozan.
