The Rockets-Nuggets game tips at 8 p.m. CST and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.
On paper, it initially looks like a mismatch — since the Nuggets are at home and 10 games over .500, while the Rockets are 32 games below with the worst record in the Western Conference. But a closer examination does offer at least some hope of a competitive game.
The Nuggets lost convincingly (119-107) at home on Wednesday versus Oklahoma City, another young team that is on a similar rebuilding trajectory to the Rockets. Meanwhile, Houston had its most encouraging performance in some time in an overtime loss to Utah, with rookie guard Jalen Green and veteran big man Christian Wood the clear standouts.
Green, who was drafted No. 2 overall in the 2021 first round, has now scored 20 or more points in four of Houston’s last five games.
Houston’s losing streak continues, but there was a lot to like in an overtime loss to Utah — starting with Jalen Green (27 points, 69% FG) and Christian Wood (24 points, 10 rebounds). https://t.co/TBC7vjTId1
