Denver at Houston

Denver has won eight of nine, including 125-118 over New Orleans on Wednesday when Nikola Jokic recorded another triple-double with 28 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds. The Nuggets have won 13 of 18 meetings with Houston, and they have won five of their past six road games outright. Denver has gone UNDER five of six Friday games. It has allowed an average of 112.5 points in its past eight games. Houston stayed UNDER in its 114-104 victory over Cleveland. The Rockets have allowed 110.3 points per game over their past nine games. The Nuggets played a sloppy game against the Pelicans and still came out with a win despite nine turnovers by Jokic, who fouled out in the fourth quarter. Denver had 20 turnovers overall and perhaps was looking ahead to tonight's NBA Cup matchup. Take the Nuggets on the moneyline, and bet the UNDER.
