PREVIEW: The Denver Nuggets (17-6) will attempt to build on a three-game winning streak when visiting the Sacramento Kings (6-18) on December 11, 2025 at Golden 1 Center. Denver's dominant offensive machine, fueled by three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and a well-playing Jamal Murray, leads the league in offensive rating. While the Nuggets' defense was formidable with Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun healthy, recent injuries to these key players have significantly weakened their defensive presence. Sacramento has shown the ability to exploit Denver's defensive vulnerabilities, though the Nuggets' elite offense typically overwhelms opponents. The Kings enter this matchup in free fall, having completely fallen apart this season and sitting far behind playoff contenders even at this early stage. This team struggles with compatibility issues, as several interesting players lack the chemistry needed to succeed together. Domantas Sabonis remains unavailable, while Dennis Schroeder's status is questionable. Denver's impressive 11-2 road record this season suggests they have all the tools needed to extend their winning ways against a Sacramento team that has mustered just three victories at home.
