With Allen Iverson set to make his debut for Denver tonight, play the Nuggets when they host the Sacramento Kings.

The new 'AI' era begins in Denver tonight and the schedule maker is lending a big hand. That's because the Kings enter off battle at home against Washington last night.

Sacramento (10-14) is just 3-7 on the road this season, and 3-8 ATS against teams with winning records. The Kings have lost three in a row and four of their last five entering this game with the Nuggets.

Denver comes in 14-9 on the season overall, and the Nuggets have had a little extra rest this week as their Wednesday night game with Phoenix was cancelled due to the storm that dumped snow on Denver and the surrounding area.

With the home team in this series a super sharp 9-1-1 ATS, we'll stay at home with Allen Iverson and Denver tonight.

I like Sacto in this game myself, although it's not a game I personally could play.

I wouldn't bet this game for several reasons:

1) Iverson is still not here (Denver) and will not play unless he gets here and passes a physical AND Andre Mille/Joe Smith get to Philly and pass a physical.

2) Camby has a broken finger and is out a couple weeks now. That's 3 starters missing from the Nuggets.

I have no idea what to expect to night, but I'm looking forward to watching it.

Passing on the side and leaning towards the under tonight.
