The Houston Rockets play host to the Denver Nuggets at Toyota Center in Sunday's NBA Western Conference clash. The Rockets are second in the league standings, while the Nuggets are fifth. Here's our match prediction.
The Houston Rockets come into the second night of a back-to-back in bad shape in the NBA. They have lost two straight matches after winning three in a row.
The Rockets' recent match was against the Los Angeles Lakers. Unfortunately, they were blown away in a 140-109 defeat at Crypto.com Arena.
Ime Udoka's men have undeniably met expectations this season. They have secured the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, guaranteeing a playoff position for the first time in four seasons.
The Denver Nuggets have started to see some improvements in their performance. They head into this clash boasting a two-match winning streak. This comes after losing four straight games.
The Nuggets had no trouble beating the Memphis Grizzlies 117-109 at home on Friday. Nikola Jokic made history in that match by becoming the third player to achieve a triple-double in a season. He posted 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 13 assists.
Interim head coach David Adelman will hope his team can make it three wins in a row on the second night of a back-to-back. They are 4-3 in their last seven away outings.

Our Houston Rockets vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Houston Rockets are underdogs in Sunday's regular-season finale. The Rockets have already secured the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and have nothing to play for. They could sit out most players in their usual rotation for this one.

The Nuggets won 116-111 on the road when the two sides last met. We expect them to secure a hard-fought win in another high-scoring affair. Our Houston Rockets v Denver Nuggets prediction: over 230.5.
