Sacramento Kings vs Denver Nuggets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 22, 2025

The market total of 251 proved prophetic in a back-and-forth battle where Sacramento's fourth-quarter surge ultimately decided the outcome. Denver and Sacramento combined for 65 points in the opening quarter, immediately below the projected pace, but momentum shifted in the second half as both teams found their rhythm. The first half totaled 126 combined points—well short of the midway expectation—before the teams erupted for 68 combined points in the fourth quarter alone, pushing the final combined total to 251, exactly hitting the line.

Nikola Jokić's 44-point, 13-rebound, 7-assist performance anchored Denver's offense, complemented by Jamal Murray's 23 points and 9 assists and Cameron Johnson's 20 points. Sacramento countered with balanced scoring: Russell Westbrook contributed 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 11 assists, while Dennis Schröder added 21 points and 7 assists, and Keegan Murray chipped in 19 points. The Kings' late-game execution proved decisive, outscoring Denver 37–31 in the fourth to escape with a 128–123 road win. The result snapped Sacramento's recent scoring struggles—the team had averaged just 108.6 points per game over its last ten contests—and marked a reversal from their previous two head-to-head meetings this season, both decided by Denver by a combined 18 points.
