Denver meets Houston in this intra-conference NBA clash at Ball Arena this evening. The Nuggets are sixth at 39–26 on the season, while the Rockets are third at 40–24. Who is likely to secure victory? Here is our prediction.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge with a game-high 35 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder shot 51% overall, including 40% from beyond the arc, to edge the Denver Nuggets 129–126 on Monday.
The Nuggets have now lost their last two games and slid to 2–4 overall in their last six games. Two of their last three games at Ball Arena have ended with defeats. Can they return to winning ways against the Rockets?
The Houston Rockets bounced back with a 113–99 win over the Toronto Raptors yesterday evening after their 25-point defeat to the San Antonio Spurs. They have produced mixed results lately, but boast a respectable 6–3 record in their last nine games overall.
The Texas-based franchise have also won seven of their last 10 away games, including three of their last four trips to face the Denver Nuggets.
