Prediction for the NBA Houston Rockets vs Denver Nuggets match which will take place on November 25th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Houston Rockets

The Rockets had a disappointing trip to California, losing to the Clippers, Lakers, and Golden State. Back home, Aimee Udoka's team had a confident 111:91 win over Memphis. Houston had another quality game in defense, strengthening the top line of the defensive rating, which the Rockets now share with Minnesota and the New York Knicks. On the offensive side of the ball against the Grizzlies, it's worth mentioning Jalen Green, who made 50% of his field goal attempts and scored 34 points.

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets have been playing on the road for a long time and are doing it exceptionally poorly. In four games on the road, Michael Malone's team has lost three - to New Orleans (110:115), Cleveland (109:121), and Orlando (119:124) - and won only once, against Eastern Conference favorite Detroit (107:103). Denver is missing Jamal Murray. He was injured against Chicago in early November and has missed eight games for his team.

Expert Betting Tips

Houston has a top-3 defense this season. Denver is without one of their top scorers, Jamal Murray, so offensive struggles are a likely scenario for the Nuggets in the upcoming game. At the same time, Denver is seventh in defensive rating and can fight for a win due to the quality of their half-court play.
