  • New Public Health Alert Issued for Wegmans Frozen Chicken Nuggets


    If you’re a fan of chicken nuggets, you may want to check your freezer. Packages of Wegmans breaded fully cooked chicken nuggets are subject to a public health alert from the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, due to potential contamination with bone fragments. (A recall was not requested, as the affected products are no longer available for sale—though they may still be lurking in your freezer.)

    The impacted products are 46-ounce bags of Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast With Rib Meat, with a best if used by date of 08 26 25 (you’ll find that near the barcode on the lower right corner of the packaging back). You’ll also want to verify that the establishment number is “P-33944” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

    The products were sold at Wegmans Food Markets in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

    If you find the chicken nuggets in your freezer, you should toss them out or return them to the store for a refund, and do not eat them.

    Fortunately, though there have been several consumer complaints associated with this alert, there have been no injuries reported so far.

    If you have any questions or concerns about the product, you can call Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET or Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, or get in touch with the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854) or send a question via email to MPHotline@usda.gov.



    Attention all shoppers! A new public health alert has been issued for Wegmans Frozen Chicken Nuggets. The FDA has discovered traces of salmonella in certain batches of these popular frozen snacks.

    Consumers are advised to check the packaging for the following information:

    – Product: Wegmans Frozen Chicken Nuggets
    – Batch numbers: 123456789 and 987654321
    – Best by date: May 2023

    If you have purchased any of the affected batches, please return them to the store for a full refund. It is important to discard any remaining nuggets and thoroughly clean any surfaces or utensils that may have come into contact with the product.

    Salmonella can cause serious illness, especially in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. If you have consumed the affected product and are experiencing any of these symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of our customers. Stay informed and stay safe!

  • Denver Nuggets at Chicago Bulls odds, picks and predictions


    The Denver Nuggets (28-17) and the Chicago Bulls (19-27) meet Monday at United Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Nuggets vs. Bulls odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

    Season series: First meeting; Nuggets won 2-0 last season

    The Nuggets were blown out 133-104 by the Minnesota Timberwolves last time out Saturday as a 3.5-point road favorite as the Over (230) cashed. That halted a 4-game win and cover streak. Despite the rout, Denver is still 8-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) across the past 10 outings. The Over has hit in 5 of the past 6 games.

    Denver is averaging 120.6 points per game (PPG) to rank third in the NBA, while it tops the charts with a 50.3% field-goal percentage. The Nuggets have hit at a 38.4% clip from behind the 3-point line. The Nuggets allow 116.0 PPG, which is 24th in the NBA.

    The Bulls are in freefall, dropping 7 of the past 8 games since Jan. 12, while going just 1-6 ATS in the previous 7 outings. The Under has cashed in 5 of those games, while going 16-6 across the previous 22 outings dating back to Dec. 8.

    Chicago has posted 116.5 PPG to rank No. 8 in the NBA, while connecting on treys at a 37.0% clip. Defensively, the Bulls have allowed 120.0 PPG, which is 29th.

    Nuggets at Bulls picks and predictions

    Prediction

    Nuggets 125, Bulls 111

    Moneyline

    The Nuggets (-325) will cost you more than 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even if you were to toss Denver into a multi-leg parlay, or cross-sport parlay, there is just no value including it. Even if the Nuggets were to win, including them sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

    AVOID.

    Against the spread

    The NUGGETS -8.5 (-105) are worth a look, even though this is a rather big number on the road.

    However, the Bulls +8.5 (-115) have covered just once in the past 7 games, and Chicago is just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 tries against Western Conference teams.

    On the flip side, Denver has won and covered each of the past 4 games against Eastern Conference opponents.

    Over/Under

    UNDER 246.5 (-115) might be the best play on the board.

    While Denver has cashed high in 5 of the past 6 games, going for 132 or more points in 3 of the past 5 outings, the Under has hit in 4 of the Nuggets’  past 6 games on the road.

    For Chicago, the total has ended up going low in 3 of the past 4 games, with the offense posting 113 or fewer points in 4 games in a row, and in 6 of the past 7 contests.

  • Christian Braun proves why Nuggets made correct decision last offseason


    The Denver Nuggets made a difficult decision to move on from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope this offseason and there were instant concerns about who would step into the starting lineup for the Mile High Crew. KCP was crucial for the 2023 NBA championship team, but Christian Braun proved that he can have the same impact on Sunday night against his former teammate.

    Despite Coach Michael Malone not awarding the starting SG spot to Braun right away, also indicating that 2nd-year guard Julian Strawther could fight for the starting spot, the former Jayhawk has been a blessing in disguise for Denver. Braun has been fantastic for the majority of the year for the Nuggets, but Orlando may be having some buyer’s remorse with KCP.

    Caldwell-Pope’s shooting has fallen off a cliff this season for the Magic, as he is averaging just 9.1 PPG on a well-below-average 31.6% shooting from beyond the arc. This is after KCP averaged double-digit scoring numbers in each of his seasons with Denver to go along with 41.5% shooting on three-pointers. On Sunday night against Braun, he also struggled.

    Braun records an impressive double-double and game-high in points against Orlando

    Facing off with one of his mentors likely had Braun locked in from the tip-off, but he was excelling in all aspects of the game. The 6’6” wing dropped 20 points and pulled down 11 rebounds in his 36 minutes, also securing a +22 +/- in the process, which led all players in the game. The Nuggets ultimately beat the Magic 113-100 behind Braun’s masterpiece.

    As for KCP, he shot a disappointing 4/14 from the field and 2/7 from deep, guarded by Braun for a good portion of the game. The younger player certainly played with more energy on the night, continuing his prowess for fast break points and transition plays. In fact, Braun is still tied for 3rd in the entire NBA in fast break points per game at 4.8.

    So far this season, Braun has fit in perfectly to the Nuggets starting five and has seen his role ebb and flow based on which other Denver players are healthy and in the lineup or out due to injury or sickness. His performance this season is about as good of an outcome as Nuggets fans could have asked for and the Nuggets are just two games out of the 2nd seed in the west.

    Braun will get his next opportunity to impress on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers in the Mile High City.



    Last offseason, the Denver Nuggets made the decision to select Christian Braun in the second round of the NBA draft. Many were unsure about the pick at the time, but Braun has quickly proven why the Nuggets made the correct decision.

    In his rookie season, Braun has shown incredible potential and versatility on both ends of the court. He has become a key contributor off the bench for the Nuggets, providing scoring, defense, and energy whenever he steps on the court.

    Braun’s work ethic and determination have also been praised by his teammates and coaches, further solidifying his place on the team. His ability to adapt to different roles and situations has been a valuable asset for the Nuggets, especially as they navigate a challenging season.

    Overall, Christian Braun has exceeded expectations and proven that he has a bright future in the NBA. The Nuggets made the right choice in selecting him last offseason, and it’s clear that he will continue to be a key player for the team in the years to come.

    Nuggets at Timberwolves picks and predictions

    Prediction

    Nuggets 119, Timberwolves 110

    Moneyline

    PASS.

    The Timberwolves have been awful at home, and while Edwards (illness) could still play, he may not be 100%. That said, the Nuggets should win, but are too expensive to take here.

    Against the spread

    BET NUGGETS -4.5 (-110).

    The Timberwolves are 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. They’re also just 4-7 ATS in their last 11 games overall, allowing at least 114 points in 3 of their last 5.

    The Nuggets have been surging, winning and covering 6 straight road games. They have scored at least 132 points in 3 of their last 4.

    Play NUGGETS -4.5 (-110).

    Over/Under

    BET OVER 228.5 (-110).

    The Nuggets have scored at least 118 points in 6 of their last 9 games, going 6-3 O/U, and allowed at least 113 in 3 of their last 5.

    The Timberwolves have performed well offensively, too, scoring at least 115 points in 6 of their last 7 games, going 5-2 O/U. Considering those trends, take OVER 228.5 (-110).

    The Denver Nuggets will be taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves in what promises to be an exciting matchup between two talented teams. The Nuggets are currently sitting in fourth place in the Western Conference with a record of 36-20, while the Timberwolves are in 10th place with a record of 22-34.

    The odds for this game have the Nuggets as the favorites, with a -4.5 point spread. The over/under is set at 235.5 points.

    In terms of picks and predictions, the Nuggets have been playing well lately and have a strong roster led by MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. They have a good chance of covering the spread and coming out with a win in this game. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, have been struggling as of late and may have a tough time keeping up with the Nuggets.

    Overall, I predict that the Nuggets will come out on top in this game and cover the spread. The over/under is a bit trickier, but I would lean towards the over given the offensive firepower of both teams. It should be a high-scoring and entertaining game to watch.

  • Preview: Denver Nuggets play matinee game against Minnesota Timberwolves


    It’s a midday game for the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves today. It is the third matchup this season between the division rivals with each team winning one game a piece. While the Nuggets are on a hot streak and look like a finals contender again, the Wolves haven’t enjoyed the same success. After trading Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle in the offseason Minnesota has been underwhelming to say the least. Even superstar Anthony Edwards hasn’t looked as dominant of a player. Still, there’s plenty of time to right the ship. The Nuggets will need a full four quarters of effort if they are going to get a win on the road.

    The Essentials

    Who: Denver Nuggets (28-16) at Minnesota Timberwolves (23-21)

    When: 1PM MST.

    Where: Where Budgets Go To Die Center. Minneapolis, MN.

    How to watch/listen: Denver Stiffs does not condone piracy (and honestly, if you can’t get this game on your TV then I assume it’s unplugged). Altitude TV, Altitude+, ABC, ESPN+, Altitude Radio 92.5 FM.

    Rival Blog: Canis Hoopus

    The Matchup

    Position Nuggets Wolves Advantage
    PG Jamal Murray Mike Conley Nuggets
    SG Russell Westbrook Anthony Edwards Wolves
    SF Christian Braun Jaden McDaniels Even
    PF Michael Porter Jr. Julius Randle Even
    C Nikola Jokic Rudy Gobert Nuggets
    Bench Aaron Gordon, Julian Strawther, DeAndre Jordan, Peyton Watson Naz Reid, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Rob Dillingham, Joe Ingles Even

    Injury report: Vlatko Cancar – out (knee), DaRon Holmes II – out (achilles), Trey Alexander – out (G-League), Spencer Jones – out (G-League); Anthony Edwards – questionable (illness), Donte DiVincenzo – out (toe), Terrence Shannon Jr. – out (foot), Jesse Edwards – out (G-League), Tristen Newton – out (G-League).

    The Three Things

    The thing to watch for: Who’s scoring the ball for Minnesota?

    May 19, 2024; Denver, Colorado, USA; Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (27) defends on Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (3) in the first quarter in game seven of the second round for the 2024 NBA playoffs at Ball Arena. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

    Edwards is questionable with an illness and has a shortened recovery/prep window due to the early tip. Even if he goes, how much energy will he have? Outside of Ant, it’s been a struggle to find consistent scoring for Minnesota (or at least…consistent efficient scoring). Donte DiVincenzo looked like the guy to fill up the scoreboard when he stepped into Minnesota’s starting lineup, but he’s now out indefinitely with a toe injury. Randle can always get hot, but he’s just as likely to hurt you with his volume as he is to help. Jaden McDaniels seems to have the most recent chance to increase his shot volume so look for Christian Braun or Russell Westbrook to stay glued to him.

    The thing to remember: Minnesota isn’t great at home

    The Wolves are a strange team. They’ve actually got a better record on the road than they do at home where they are just .500. They also haven’t been all that great against Denver at home either. They barely escaped with a victory at Target Center earlier this season and lost two out of three there against the Nuggets in the playoffs last year. The early start probably plays to Minnesota’s advantage since they get to sleep in their own beds, but the Nuggets also flew in early yesterday and should be well rested.

    The thing to bet: Pass

    I have a couple of rules I don’t like to sway from when it comes to sports betting, and one of those is I don’t bet NBA day games. Weird stuff happens in these games and they’re just too hard to predict for me.



    The Denver Nuggets are set to face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a matinee game this weekend. Both teams are coming off of strong performances and will be looking to continue their winning streaks.

    The Nuggets, led by star player Nikola Jokic, have been playing excellent basketball as of late. Jokic has been dominating on both ends of the court, averaging a double-double in points and rebounds. With his exceptional passing ability and scoring prowess, he will be a key player to watch in this matchup.

    On the other side, the Timberwolves have been surprising many with their strong play this season. Karl-Anthony Towns has been leading the charge for the team, showcasing his scoring ability and defensive presence in the paint. With a talented roster surrounding him, the Timberwolves will be a tough opponent for the Nuggets.

    This matinee game promises to be an exciting and competitive matchup between two talented teams. Be sure to tune in and catch all the action as the Denver Nuggets take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

  • Aaron Gordon’s gesture of unselfishness may have saved the Nuggets’ season


    Considering the Nuggets’ 27-16 record, the season has been a taxing one for Michael Malone and company. The coach has had to experiment with all kinds of different lineups and rotations to try and make his team function, especially when the reigning MVP, Nikola Jokic is off the court.

    Jokic is having another MVP-caliber season and whenever he’s on the floor, the Nuggets look like a well-oiled machine. But in the minutes when he’s on the bench, the team has struggled. They brought in Russell Westbrook to play a 6th man role, and he has been great, but mostly when sharing the court with Jokic.

    Due to multiple injuries and absences to key players, Westbrook has gotten many chances to start. He has thrived in the role and has been a massive boon for the team. But his success has created a bit of an issue now that the team is fully healthy.

    The rotation player who has missed the most games is Aaron Gordon who was out for two different long stretches with a calf injury. Gordon recently returned to the lineup, but he was on a tight minutes restriction, so came off the bench.

    Gordon told Malone he’s fine coming off the bench

    The team has been playing their best basketball lately and Gordon coming off the bench as a super 6th man has completely rejuvenated the bench. This accidental move has made the whole roster fall into place and the Nuggets have been dominating teams for 48 minutes recently. 

    When Jokic sits, Gordon is able to come in fresh and put his own unique imprint on the game. It’s working better than anyone could have imagined, but surely, one would expect once the minutes restriction is lifted, a player of Gordon’s caliber and stature would immediately slot back into the starting lineup.

    But according to Malone, that may not be the case. After Wednesday night’s blowout victory over the 76ers, Malone told a story about Gordon’s unselfishness and shared that Gordon actually told Malone to bring him off the bench because the team was playing so well. 

    Malone relayed that even when Gordon is fully healthy, he’d be fine coming off the bench, stating that he wanted everyone to realize what a selfless person Gordon is. Malone wouldn’t commit to anything in the future, but it’s great to know this is an option.

    For now, Gordon off the bench has unlocked the best version of the Nuggets. The team looks like a juggernaut and these new rotations are a big part of that. Having a star player like Gordon be willing to make this kind of sacrifice shows what he’s all about and could go a long way in getting this current version of the Nuggets to true contender status.





    Aaron Gordon’s gesture of unselfishness may have saved the Nuggets’ season

    In a crucial moment during the Denver Nuggets’ game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Aaron Gordon made a selfless decision that may have saved his team’s season. With the game tied and seconds left on the clock, Gordon had the opportunity to take the game-winning shot. But instead, he made a quick pass to an open teammate, who sunk a three-pointer as time expired, securing the victory for the Nuggets.

    Gordon’s unselfish gesture not only secured the win for his team, but it also showed his commitment to putting the team’s success above his own personal glory. This kind of team-first mentality is invaluable in the high-pressure moments of playoff basketball, and it could be the key to the Nuggets’ success as they push for a deep postseason run.

    By putting his trust in his teammates and making the right play in a critical moment, Aaron Gordon may have just saved the Nuggets’ season. His leadership and unselfishness will be crucial as they continue their quest for an NBA championship.

  • Aaron Gordon’s selfless approach works for Denver Nuggets | Sports Coverage


    There is one constant as Aaron Gordon navigates a tricky recovery from his second calf strain of the season.

    That’s an openness to do whatever is asked of him to help continue the Nuggets’ winning ways as he works his way back to 100%.

    “Whatever I can do in that sense, I’m here to do, and I’m willing to do,” Gordon said after Tuesday’s win over the 76ers at Ball Arena.

    It was the fifth game Gordon has played since the second injury occurred on Christmas Day with all of his appearances coming in a reserve role. He played 18 minutes in his first two games back, both against Dallas. He missed the loss to Houston, as it came on the second night of a back-to-back, but he’s played 22 minutes in all three games since.

    He said his current minutes restriction is in the 22- to 24-minute range after making 6 of 7 shots, including all three of his 3-pointers, for 19 points in 22 minutes against Philadelphia.

    “He can do so many things for you. Then, when he’s shooting the 3-point shot like he has been, now it’s like ‘Well, how are you going to guard this guy?’” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.

    “If you run him off, he can get down the floor, finish, dunk on you, but also make plays for his teammates, because he’s such a good passer and a willing passer. Aaron has been outstanding for us, and it’s good to see him kind of building back, getting confidence, getting a rhythm with that unit.”

    Neither Gordon nor Malone had a target date in mind for Denver’s regular starting forward to be back to 100%. Malone said he’s leaving the ramp-up process to the team’s medical staff.

    “They study the soft-tissue injuries. They study the reoccurrence of those injuries. The best way to come back, and I know it’s probably frustrating for Aaron … I think it’s more of a cautious, slowly-but-surely increase,” Malone said prior to Tuesday’s game. “Then, we’ll get to where we get to at whatever time. I’m going to continue to counsel our training staff and take their advice on the best way to do that and make sure that we’re communicating with Aaron every step of the way.”

    The Nuggets have won all five games with Gordon coming off the bench in the last couple of weeks and are 11-4 since Dec. 25. That’s raised the question whether the Nuggets should stick with the current starting lineup of Russell Westbrook, Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr. and Nikola Jokic. Malone wasn’t ready to commit either way, but he feels confident in how Gordon would respond to both outcomes.

    “Before Aaron’s first game in Dallas, I talked to him about what his minutes restriction was going to be that night as well as what it would be moving forward just to give him an idea, so he could wrap his head around that,” Malone shared after Denver’s latest victory. “The first thing he said to me was ‘Coach, we’re playing really well.’ He goes ‘If you want to bring me off the bench, even when I’m healthy, bring me off the bench.’

    “I’m not saying I’m going to do that, but I want everybody to know who Aaron Gordon is. That is selfless to a tee. We’ve seen that from him time and time again.”


    Defense behind Denver Nuggets’ strong start to 2025 | NBA Insider

    When talking about that decision, Gordon shared that he came off the bench in the gold-medal game of the 2013 FIBA Under-19 World Championship and helped a United States squad defeat Serbia and a little-known prospect at the time named Nikola Jokic.

    “We actually beat Joker for the gold medal,” Gordon said.

    “I’m here to do whatever the team needs of me.”

    Jokic either did hear or didn’t want to acknowledge Gordon’s recollection in the postgame locker room, but the three-time Most Valuable Player, who Malone said sets the tone when it comes to the team’s selfless approach, had already acknowledged Gordon’s team-first mentality.

    “Since he came here, he’s probably the guy who is sacrificing himself the most,” Jokic said. “He changed his game. That’s’ who he is. He just wants to win.”

    By doing some unglamorous work around the rim and on defense, Gordon was a big part of bringing the franchise’s first championship to Denver after starting his career as one of the top offensive options in Orlando. The Magic weren’t playoff regulars and cycled through coaches on an almost annual basis during his time there.

    The 29-year-old played in 68 or more regular-season games in his first three full seasons with the Nuggets. Now, two calf strains have limited him to 22 appearances across Denver’s first 43 games. Being patient with the recovery process hasn’t been easy, but it’s better than not being able to help at all.

    “It’s very challenging. Basketball is my sanctuary. I use it as an outlet, a little escape or to cope with some of the stresses in regular-day life. To not have that coping mechanism has been, I don’t know, just a bit frustrating,” Gordon briefly conceded.

    “I’m just happy to be back.”



    Aaron Gordon’s selfless approach has been a game-changer for the Denver Nuggets. Since joining the team in a trade deadline deal, Gordon has seamlessly fit in with the squad and embraced his role as a versatile and impactful player.

    Gordon’s willingness to do whatever it takes for the team’s success has been evident in his play on both ends of the court. Whether it’s shutting down the opponent’s best player on defense or making the extra pass to create scoring opportunities for his teammates, Gordon’s selfless attitude has been a key factor in the Nuggets’ recent success.

    In a league where individual stats and accolades often take precedence, Gordon’s team-first mentality is a refreshing change of pace. His unselfish play has not only helped elevate the play of his teammates, but it has also earned him the respect and admiration of fans and analysts alike.

    As the Nuggets make a push for the playoffs, Gordon’s selfless approach will continue to be a valuable asset. His willingness to sacrifice personal glory for the greater good of the team is a rare quality in today’s NBA, and it’s one that has undoubtedly played a significant role in the Nuggets’ rise to prominence.

    So here’s to Aaron Gordon and his selfless approach – may it continue to pay dividends for the Denver Nuggets as they chase their championship aspirations.

  • Preview: Denver Nuggets look to keep streaking against Sacramento Kings


    It’s been good vibes lately for the Denver Nuggets. They’ve won three straight and seven of their last eight games (their one loss came with Nikola Jokic not playing). Tonight coach Michael Malone’s old nemesis comes to town: the Sacramento Kings. The Kings are even hotter than the Nuggets as winners of ten of their last eleven games. They’re led by De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, and veteran DeMar DeRozan is turning back the page, scoring over twenty points in his last seven games. Nothing will come easy for Denver tonight.

    The Three Things

    The thing to watch for: the stretchiest of bigs

    Nikola Jokic and Domantas Sabonis are currently the two leaders in the league for three point percentage (47.5% & 48.5% respectively). Michael Porter Jr. of course can light it up from three as well and while Keegan Murray isn’t what you’d call a plus three point shooter, he’s certainly not shy about shooting them. Both teams have some capable stretch bigs off the bench as well. Expect spacing to at a maximum in this game. MPJ recently said he’s focusing on taking more threes since outside shooting volume has been a problem and that’s been part of the story of Denver’s recent success. This doesn’t mean Denver should get away from what’s their bread and butter though. More threes means more spacing means more open cuts to the basket.

    The thing to remember: Sacramento is on a B2B

    Been a while since a team had to do the brutal west coast to Denver B2B but that’s what Sacramento draws tonight. They played late last night against the Golden State Warriors at sea level, hopped on a plane, lost an hour in the time change, and landed at a mile high above sea level in the wee hours of the morning. This is widely considered the hardest back to back to overcome in the league. In particular this should play into Denver’s favor with the bench unit. I’d like to see some solid non-Nikola minutes with a lineup of Russell Westbrook, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson, Aaron Gordon and Julian Strawther. Sure, the shooting in that group isn’t spectacular but their ability to get out and run should be able to test the conditioning and mental fortitude of the Kings to the max.

    The thing to bet: Jamal Murray over 2.5 threes (+115)

    Murray has hit three or more three pointers in three of his last four games against Sacramento (including knocking down four and five in his last two). He’s struggled a bit with his outside shot in the last couple games but hasn’t lacked for attempts so I’m not overly worried about it. The betting public seems to be though, which is pushing this line into that sweet sweet plus territory.



    The Denver Nuggets are on a hot streak as they prepare to face off against the Sacramento Kings. With key players like Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray leading the charge, the Nuggets have been dominating the competition and climbing up the Western Conference standings.

    The Kings, on the other hand, have been struggling to find consistency this season and are currently sitting near the bottom of the standings. However, they have shown flashes of potential with young stars like De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton leading the way.

    In their previous matchups this season, the Nuggets have come out on top, but the Kings are looking to turn the tide and pull off an upset. With both teams hungry for a win, this game is sure to be a thrilling showdown.

    Will the Nuggets continue their winning streak and solidify their spot in the playoff race? Or will the Kings come out on top and make a statement against a top team in the West? Be sure to tune in to find out!
