By beating the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, the Sacramento Kings secured their 10th win in the last 11 games but now head directly into a tough matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday.

The Kings and Nuggets have already met in Sacramento this season, where the Kings suffered a one-point loss due to a Jamal Murray game-winner.

Thursday's matchup is in Denver, giving the Kings some fatigue on the second leg of a back-to-back in a different city. The Nuggets are on their own hot streak, winning seven of the last eight, and certainly have the rest advantage over a Kings squad rallying fresh off a grueling 16-point comeback on Wednesday.
