Free Denver Nuggets vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
Thursday, December 19th, the Denver Nuggets face the Houston Rockets in the clubs second meeting of the season. In the first match on November 20th in Denver, the Nuggets won 105-95.
Last season, the teams played four times with the Rockets taking three of the four contests. The Rockets hold the all-time record having bested the Nuggets in 100 of their 187 matches
Denver Nuggets
Its been a long wait for Michael Porter Jr. to crack the Nuggets lineup and gain some valuable minutes but injuries to Paul Millsap and Gary Harris allowed for his first start with the team.
Porter delivered by scoring 19 points on an efficient 8 of 10 from the field in 26 minutes.

Denver has won nine of their last 10 games with star Nikola Jokic looking similar to last season as he’s more in shape now than when he started the season.
In their recent game, the Nuggets beat the Kings demonstrating their depth as all five starters and two reserves scored in double-digits.
Will Barton (19), Jerami Grant (18), Nikola Jokic (17), Mason Plumlee (15), Jamal Murray (13) and Malik Beasley (11) all joined Porter Jr. scoring in double figures.
Jokic leads four of the individual team stats including scoring (18.0), rebounding (10.0), assists (6.8) and field goal percentage (49.8%). Gary Harris tops steals (1.4) while Paul Millsap is the blocks leader (0.7).
Gary Harris (shin contusion) is expected to return to action after missing a game but Paul Millsap is out with a contused left knee.
Houston Rockets
The Big 3 for the Rockets all missed the last game as Russell Westbrook sat for rest, James Harden was out with a sore toe and Clint Capela missed his second game with a heel contusion.
Eric Gordon returned to action after missing 20 games due to a knee injury and hit the ground running. Gordon scored 20 points and was bested only by Danuel House Jr. who dropped 22.
Isaiah Hartenstein (19), Chris Clemons (16) and Ben McLemore (12) were the other double-figure contributors.
Harden leads the team in scoring (38.3) and assists (7.5) and steals (1.9) while Capela leads in rebounding (14.4), field goal percent (64.2) and blocks (1.9).
Harden and Capela are questionable for Tuesday. Tyson Chandler (shoulder) and Thabo Sefolosha who missed the past four games with an illness are probable.
Gerald Green will be out until early May after surgery to repair a broken bone in his foot. Nene (groin) remains out with an uncertain return date.
