Denver Nuggets are peaking at the right time and could threaten Houston Rockets, who have lost two in a row in the NBA. This match on Monday night at the Toyota Center in Houston between the 6th-placed Rockets and the 9th-placed Nuggets could prove to be a high-scoring fixture with over 217.5 points, our match prediction.
The Rockets have a 7-3 win-loss record and are 1.5 games behind the leaders in the Western Conference. The Nuggets have a 5-3 record and are 2.5 games behind.
A 102-99 loss on the road at the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night saw Houston fall to a second defeat in a row. This sequence has pulled them down, coming right after a great start that landed seven wins from the first eight. Five of those wins have come in a row at home in their last six matches, as they look to bounce back from a defeat in their last fixture at this venue.
Denver won 114-102 away from home at the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night to post a fourth win from their last five games (L1), including two in a row. The lone defeat in that sequence came at home, while four victories in the last five road games, including three wins in a row suggest Denver can’t be taken lightly away from home.
