Denver Nuggets (19-6) versus Houston Rockets (16-7) is an exciting Western Conference clash on Saturday night at the Ball Arena. The Nuggets will want to get another win against the Rockets after edging out the visitors 128-125 on Monday night at the same venue. Nikola Jokic once again showed why he’s the best in the business, recording his 12th triple-double of the season. The Serbian will be itching for a similar performance against this familiar rival.
Houston Rockets, meanwhile, have been blowing hot and cold lately. They have dropped four of their last 10 matches, with the latest defeat coming against the Nuggets. This inconsistent form has seen them drop to the fifth position in the league, just 2.0 games behind the Nuggets. The good news for them is that they can pick themselves up when they face the struggling Pelicans on Thursday night before visiting the Nuggets.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Houston Rockets Prediction
This will be a matchup between the best attack and one of the best defences in the league. The Nuggets have scored an average of 125.6 PPG this season, with Jokic averaging 29.8 points per contest. Their attack should help them edge out the defensively resolute Rockets, who have given up an average of 111.2 points per game. The Rockets have struggled on the road lately, losing three of their last four matches. They are also 1-3 ATS in those games. However, the Nuggets haven’t been convincing at home either, losing four of their last five matches. That’s why we expect another close encounter with the Rockets covering the spread.
