Prediction: Sacramento Kings’ Box Score Game 63 at Denver Nuggets
By Tyler Watts
The Sacramento Kings travel to take on the Denver Nuggets on March 6, 2017. This article predicts the Sacramento Kings’ box score for that contest.
The Sacramento Kings head to Denver to take on the Nuggets tonight. This is the third meeting against the Nuggets this season. Sacramento has been victorious in the previous two contests.
Yesterday, the Sacramento Kings hosted the Utah Jazz. The Kings led by 12 points entering the fourth quarter but ultimately fell to the Jazz 110-109 in overtime. Below is a highlight video from that wild affair in case you missed the action.
Without further ado, below is my Sacramento Kings’ box score prediction for the March 6th game against the Denver Nuggets.
Box Score Prediction
Denver Nuggets This Season
The Denver Nuggets play a good brand of offensive basketball this season. They rank 6th in the NBA in offensive rating and 4th in points scored per game. Throw in the fact that they play at the 8th fastest pace and this Nuggets teams can score a lot of points.

The defensive end of the floor has not been as kind to the Nuggets this season. They rank 30th or dead last in the NBA in defensive rating and allow the 28th most points per game. This team struggles mightily on defense.
Tyreke Evans Returns
As I mentioned in the game preview, I think Tyreke Evans returns tonight and leads the Kings in scoring. Evans should have the freshest legs, was successful against the Nuggets two weeks ago, and seems primed and playing well at the current moment. Expect Evans to stuff the stat sheet in his limited minutes tonight.
Summary
There you have it, my Sacramento Kings’ box score prediction for tonight’s game. The Denver Nuggets play well on offense and struggle on defense meaning tonight’s game could be a shootout.
Please tune in and root on the Kings. They need any help they can get to break their four-game losing streak and a victory tonight would be a good statement road win.
