Friday's game is an exciting matchup between the Rockets and the Nuggets, a clash between Houston, the fourth favorite to win the NBA this season, and Denver, the second favorite. It's also an intriguing showdown between Durant and Jokic.
The Rockets are coming off a 114-104 victory over the Cavaliers in Cleveland, securing their fifth straight win and tenth of the season. Houston controlled the game, building a 22-point lead in the third quarter, but the Cavs went on a 23-5 run to close out the quarter. This left the Rockets needing a basket; Sengun stepped up and delivered, scoring 28 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, while Durant added 20 points.
That same day, the Nuggets defeated the Pelicans 125-118, with another triple-double from Jokic, which has become routine, this time with 28 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds. Peyton Watson had a career-high 32 points in what was Denver's eighth win in their last nine games.
