The Denver Nuggets and the Houston Rockets are set to battle it out at Ball Arena in an NBA clash. The Nuggets are in second place in the Western Conference standings, while the Rockets are fifth. Here's our match prediction. 

The Denver Nuggets are riding a wave of momentum heading into this clash. They have won six consecutive matches and are aiming to make it seven in a row.

In their recent match, they beat the Orlando Magic 126-115 at home. Jamal Murray was the standout player in that match, leading the team with a game-high 32 points. As a team, they shot 55.68% from the field and 44.44% from the three-point range. 

The Nuggets are entering their third match of a four-game homestand. So far, they've won two straight games, and that comes after losing four in a row.

The Houston Rockets have been inconsistent as they head into this clash with three losses in their last four matches.

Their most recent match was against the Pelicans, and they failed to live up to their status as favorites. They suffered a 133-128 overtime defeat on the road. That result extended their losing streak to two matches. 

The Rockets are on the road once again, and it hasn't been a great display. Their last away win was against the Jazz on November 30th. Since that result, they've lost four straight games.
