Betting Odds
- The Rockets prevailed in their last four call-ins to Denver, including a 109-99 victory on Nov. 13.

Predictions
Nuggets have beat their opponents under 100 points 17 times this season, but they failed to do so in both clashes opposing the Rockets. The Rockets like a quick game and three-pointers, while the Nuggets are also good at it. That is the reason this game cannot be defensive, so we can predict a lot of points from both teams.
