Denver Nuggets vs. Houston Rockets Prediction
This is a lot of juice, but I think this should be -180 or higher, so it has value. Denver is a better team than Houston. Last time they faced off this year we saw Houston get the better of them in a close one but I don’t expect that to happen twice.
Both teams have lost three of their last four games, but something has to give. Even without Jamal Murray, I believe Denver is just the better team. Jokic should have a field day today, and nobody will be surprised if he puts up a 30-point triple double.
This is a tournament game and the NBA is really pushing this new thing onto us. You know they will want the defending champs in the tournament to get more eyes on it. Denver is currently 2-1 in tournament play, and 3-1 could get the job done and put them in the final eight teams.
I feel like Denver should be favored by five or more. I like moneyline over spread here because I could see an outcome where Denver wins a close one by 1-3 points. Let’s drink the juice here and put more money on these cash-respecting Nuggets. Let's roll!
