Houston at Denver

December 20, 2025
img5:00 PM Eastern

The Denver Nuggets have inched closer to Oklahoma City for the top seed in the NBA Western Conference playoffs. Denver is one of the best teams in the West, and they are playing very well right now. The Nuggets come in on a 6-game winning streak. The Nuggets have averaged winning those six games by 10.6 points per game. Houston isn't exactly playing their best basketball right now. The Rockets are 1-3 SU in their last four games, and 0-4 ATS. This isn't a good time for the Rockets to face the 20-6 Nuggets, as they are playing poorly. I like teams that are on a big winning streak because they bring it. I like Denver on the moneyline.
