Rockets Preview

In the second game of a Wednesday night NBA on ESPN doubleheader, the Houston Rockets will battle the Denver Nuggets from Ball Arena. For other NBA action see our NBA Predictions. The Rockets (40-24) are two games above .500 on the road and are tied with Minnesota for third place in the Eastern Conference standings. Last night, Houston outscored Toronto by 11 points over the final 12 minutes to earn a 113-99 home victory.

All-Star F Kevin Durant led all scorers with 29 points on 12-for-16 shooting to go along with seven rebounds and two blocks. Houston F Jabari Smith Jr. and G Amen Thompson scored 23 points each. All-Star C Alperen Sengun added 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Rockets, who dominated the Raptors on the glass by a 53-30 margin.

Nuggets Preview

The Denver Nuggets are four games above .500 at home and trail Los Angeles by a half-game for fifth place in the Western Conference standings. The Nuggets (39-26) lead the league in offensive efficiency and are averaging 120.3 points per contest. On Monday, Denver took NBA Champion Oklahoma City down to the wire before falling by a 129-126 final score.

Three-time MVP Nikola Jokic tallied a team-high 32 points (12-19 FG), 14 rebounds, and 13 assists. Denver F Aaron Gordon scored 23 points on 6-for-14 shooting and grabbed ten rebounds. All-Star G Jamal Murray added 21 points and eight rebounds for the Nuggets, who connected on 15-for-37 from the three-point line.

Rockets vs Nuggets Pick

Denver G Jamal Murray (ankle) and F Cameron Johnson (back) are listed as probable for this contest. The Rockets are the better defensive team, but will struggle with the altitude in the second of a back-to-back. Take the Nuggets to bounce back with a home victory and cover. Final Score Prediction, Denver Nuggets win 121-109.
