Houston Rockets vs Denver Nuggets Preview

Winless high-profile Western Conference rivals Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets square off in an attempt to release the pressure valve.

The Nuggets went down to a Kings buzzer-beater in overtime before crashing 121-108 to the Clippers on Christmas Day.

A slow starter last season, Nikola Jokic has hit the ground running. The marquee big man went off for 29 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists against the Kings, while he was one rebound short of another triple-double against the Clippers. Jamal Murray has struggled to replicate the offensive play that set the 2020 playoffs alight, but he has stepped up his game defensively.

In their only outing to date, the Rockets also went down in OT. They led Portland by 10 at halftime before being run down and eventually pipped 128-126. James Harden – the subject of intense trade speculation – put up 44 points and 17 assists. Meanwhile, ex-Pistons center had 31 points and 13 rebounds on Rockets debut.

Houston are battling big unavailable list, including John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Gordon and Mason Jones due to COVID-19 quarantine, and Kenyon Martin Jr and Ben McLemore with injury.

The Rockets have won 12 of their last 15 games against the Nuggets. But the Nuggets have won the last three in Denver. The teams’ four encounters were split two apiece, all going the way of the home team and all decided by seven-plus points.

Denver’s early form has been disappointing. But Houston’s lack of troops should be a decisive factor in Mile High City.
