A very well-documented slow start to the season meant the Houston Rockets needed to put a fair bit of work to get back to .500, but they’re finally there, and need a win in Colorado on Monday night when they visit the Denver Nuggets.

The Rockets make the trip to Denver having won seven of their previous nine games, and now they take on the bottom dwelling Nuggets, who themselves have played better football of late.
Houston Rockets:
James Harden put up 30 points in the Rockets’ 126-97 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. Houston shot 52.2 percent from the floor in that one, hitting on 15 of 33 attempts from beyond the arc, all while limiting the Lakers to 40 percent shooting from the floor, and 10 of 32 shooting from beyond the arc.

That was the ninth consecutive game in which the Rockets scored over 100 points. In those nine games, the team is scoring 111.7 points per game, which has raised their average for the season up to 104.2.
The team got 55 points from its bench against the Lakers, including 18 from Marcus Thornton.
Denver Nuggets:
The Nuggets have back-to-back wins over the Rockets, including a 107-98 victory at Houston on Nov. 13. Danilo Gallinari scored 27 points to go along with 26 from Will Barton in that one, with the Rockets hitting on just 9 of 29 attempts from deep.

Gallinari scored nine of his game-high 23 points after regulation.

The Nuggets can score as well, hitting the century mark three times in their last four games. Gallinari has put up 50 points in his last two outings. Neither team will have any interest in slowing the pace of this contest, so don’t be surprised when these teams keep the scoreboard operator busy on this night.
