Two streaking teams collide on Wednesday as the Denver Nuggets play host to the Houston Rockets at Ball Arena. The Nuggets have won their last four games, including back-to-back wins vs. the Dallas Mavericks. In their recent win over the Mavs 118-99, Jamal Murray exploded for 45 points on 18-for-26 shooting while Nikola Jokic posted a triple-double with 10 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. The Nuggets are now second in the Northwest Division standings with a 24-15 record. The Rockets are also on a romp as of late, winning their last four games and five of their last six to tighten their grip on the No.2 spot in the Western Conference. Jalen Green has reinforced his case for an All-Star nod after dropping a career-tying 42 points in a 120-118 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on January 13.
