The Denver Nuggets will entertain the Houston Rockets in their next assignment in the NBA. They come into this match sitting in fourth place in the Western Conference, three games behind their second-placed visitors. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Nuggets are in great form and will arrive for this tie confident of victory. Mike Malone’s men have won seven times in their last 10 games and are on a four-match winning run.

They are coming off a back-to-back against the Mavericks in Dallas. Denver won the first match 112-101 and then 118-99 in the second fixture. They have now improved to 23-15.

The Rockets are also coming into this match having won consecutive fixtures. Ime Udoka’s men, who are one of the surprise packages this season, have won four straight.

They are coming off a back-to-back against the Grizzlies. Houston won 119-115 in the first match away from home and then 120-118 at home. 

The two victories gave them a sizeable advantage in the race for a top-two finish out West. They are now two games clear of the Grizzlies who sit in third place. 

The Rockets have won 26 of 38 matches, a record bettered by just three other teams.
