Houston Rockets at Denver Nuggets Predictions & Picks

Houston are tipped to cover as a betting underdog in Denver.

The Rockets have been in decent form on the road in recent weeks, while the Ball Arena has not exactly been a fortress for the Nuggets during this same period.

  • Houston Rockets are 7-3 in their last 10 road games
  • Denver Nuggets are 5-7 in their previous 12 home games
  • Houston Rockets are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a betting underdog
  • The Under cashed in 2 of the previous 3 meetings this season

Head To Head

  • Houston Rockets lead the all-time series 112-104
  • Houston Rockets won 115-101 when the two teams last met on December 20

Houston Rockets Form

Houston arrive in Denver on the back of a victory, but on a rollercoaster run having split their last six games.

The Rockets rebounded from a 108-106 loss in New York last month with a three-game win streak, starting with home wins over Utah, 125-105, and Sacramento, 128-97.

They then went out on the road to take down Orlando, 113-10, but that run was ended by a 115-105 loss in Miami and they have not strung together wins since then.

Houston rebounded with a 123-118 victory in Washington, only to then lose 115-113 in overtime when they hosted Golden State.

The Rockets answered with a 106-99 victory over Portland, and then had to bounce back from a 145-120 defeat at San Antonio with a 113-99 success at home to Toronto last night.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver enter this matchup on an underwhelming run of form, having lost 10 of their previous 16 games.

The Nuggets opened February with a three-game losing skid, and then struggled for consistency as a 136-120 win at Chicago was followed by a 119-117 loss to Cleveland.

They then beat Memphis 122-116, lost 115-114 to the LA Clippers, blew out Portland 157-103, lost 128-117 at Golden State, and beat Boston 103-84.

Denver dropped the next two, losing 127-121 in overtime at Oklahoma City and 117-108 at home to Minnesota, before rallying to beat Utah 128-125 on the road and the Los Angeles Lakers 120-113 at home.

The Nuggets have not won since though, following up a 142-103 home loss to New York with a 129-126 defeat in Oklahoma.

Verdict

Denver desperately need a win here, but both their overall form and home form are poor.

Houston, on the other hand, have been doing a solid job on the road in recent weeks, so give us the Rockets and the points.
