The Nuggets have just one game left in the regular season, and with their 49-32 record, their fate is still undecided. They could end the season as high as fourth in the Western Conference, or depending on what happens with the Clippers, Warriors, and Timberwolves, they could even drop to the point of having to play in the play-in tournament.

Bettors are confident the Nuggets can beat the already qualified Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center, so much so that the Nuggets are 8.5-point favorites. The Nuggets are coming off a 117-109 win over the Grizzlies on Saturday, in a game where Jokic became the third player in NBA history to average a triple-double in a season. Jokic overcame a slow start to score 26 points against the Grizzlies, along with 16 rebounds and 12 assists. Furthermore, the Serbian will become the first player in history to finish first in all three categories (points, rebounds, and assists).

Since the Rockets secured second place in the Western Conference, they lost their next two games, resting some of their key players.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Nuggets play a crucial final game of the regular season against an already ranked team that they can't afford to lose. In good news, Jamal Murray returned on Saturday after missing the previous six games with a sprained ankle. For the Nuggets, securing the fourth seed also means securing home-field advantage in their first playoff matchup. Our prediction for Nuggets vs Rockets is: Nuggets -8.5.

Prediction:

 

Nuggets -8.5.
