It’s the fourth and final meeting this season between the Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets. Houston leads the series 2-1 with each club winning on their home floor.
Both teams last played Wednesday with the Rockets defeating the Thunder 110-101 while the Nuggets lost 102-111 to the Clippers.
Season Series
Last season, the teams played four times with the Nuggets taking three of the four contests but it’s the Rockets who hold the all-time record having bested the Nuggets in 105 of their 203 matches.
The Rockets took the November 12th (107-104) and 24th (105-86) matches while Denver won on November 29th (134-124).
Houston Rockets
The Rockets have been one of the pleasant surprises of the season with an obvious culture shift and commitment to defense. Still, the main hurdle they need to get past is winning on the road where they have yet to collect a single victory (0-8).
In contrast, Houston thrives at home where they are 9-1 so the challenge for this young squad is to find a way to get their game to travel. That’ll be tough in Denver who has arguably the biggest home-court advantage due to the altitude.
Rockets Stats
The Rockets rank 20th offensively (112.5), and fourth defensively (109.6), with a net differential of plus +2.9 ranking 11th overall.
One of the best bets is the Rockets who possess an 11-5-2 record against the spread through 18 games.
Rockets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Victor Oladipo, SG (OUT indefinitely—knee)
- Jeff Green, SF (questionable—personal)
- Jock Landale, C (questionable — illness)
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets are one of two teams (Celtics) who’ve yet to drop a game on their home court (9-0). They’ve struggled on the road to start the season but with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon returning from injury it should get them back on track.
Their last game wasn’t a surprising result given the Clippers were looking for revenge after getting embarrassed in the prior meeting with Denver’s Big 3 all out.
The Nuggets got out to a 15-point lead but LA erased it and took their own double-digit lead following a 40-point second quarter. Nikola Jokic registered a triple-double of 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists while Murray scored 23 in his return from a slight ankle injury.
Nuggets Stats
Denver is tied for ninth on offense (116.6) and 12th defensively (112.5) with a net differential of plus +4.1 which ranks sixth overall.
Despite their record, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with an 8-13-1 record through 22 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)

Free Houston Rockets vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
This one isn’t brain surgery — the Rockets haven’t won on the road and the Nuggets haven’t lost at home. Sure, those trends won’t last all season but with Murray and Gordon back and coming off a loss, I’m all-in on Denver taking this match.
The question is how much they’ll win by, considering they haven’t been a strong bet against the spread. For that reason, I’ll take the points but the Nuggets to win.
