Denver are tipped to cover as a betting underdog at home.
Both teams are in good form heading into this, but the Nuggets will always be an appealing home pick with free points, especially when they are on a roll.

Houston Rockets Form
Houston head into this matchup in good form, having won nine of their last 12 games and each of the previous four.
The Rockets enjoyed a four-game win streak over the Christmas period, but failed to end 2024 on a high as they were beaten 113-112 by Minnesota and 104-100 by Miami.
They bounced back in their opening game of 2025, beating Dallas 110-99, only to then lose 109-86 when they hosted Boston.
Houston have not lost since though, sparking this four-game winning run with a 119-115 victory at home to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Rockets then went out on the road to beat Washington 135-112 and Memphis 119-115, before returning home to down the Grizzlies, 120-118.
Denver Nuggets Form
Denver go into this game in great form, having won eight of their previous 10 games and each of the last 10.
The Nuggets lost 110-100 in Phoenix on Christmas Day and then fell to a 149-135 home defeat to Cleveland, but responded with a three-game winning run.
They sandwiched a 132-121 victory in Utah with home wins over both Detroit, 134-121, and Atlanta, 139-120.
Denver’s run was ended by a 113-110 defeat to San Antonio, and they then failed to back up a 122-111 overtime win over the Spurs as they fell 118-107 to Boston.
The Nuggets rebounded in style though, beating the LA Clippers 126-103 and Brooklyn 124-105 at home, before heading to Dallas for 112-101 and 118-99 victories.
Verdict
Two in-form teams are going head-to-head here, so this is a close one to call.
It is not often you get Denver and a free bucket at home though, especially when they are in good form, so we are leaning towards the Nuggets.
