With the Denver Nuggets an oddity to their season has been how they are better on the road. Their record in away games is 12-2, while at home they have just a 6-4 record. Extra rest is not necessarily a recipe for success when it comes to the NBA. With both teams off since Thursday, that could be another wrinkle to cause the Nuggets to have issues at home. Additionally, the Rockets are seeking revenge from losing by just three points to Denver on November 21st. Take the Rockets here.

Non-sensical, it seems, for Denver to have lost four straight games at home, considering it has won eleven straight on the road! No new injury news on top of Aaron Gordon's absence, and Nikola Jokic was full steam ahead on the just-completed road swing, scoring at a brisk 32 ppg clip across the four wins as the Nuggets reached at least 134 points three of those occasions. Meanwhile it looks like the Rockets have flattened out a bit, struggling in some recent outings and losing their last two on the road at Utah and Dallas. Note Denver handed Houston its only loss in a nine-game stretch in November when the Joker scored 34 in a 112-109 win at Toyota Center on November 21. Play Nuggets
