Houston at Denver

Denver is back on track after losing to Boston when Nikola Jokic was out due to illness and the Nuggets since have won four in a row while getting the money in all of them. The Nuggets come off a 118-99 victory at Dallas on Tuesday night as Jamal Murray scored 32 of his season-high 45 points in the first half and they easily covered as a 2.5-point favorite. Denver has really focused on the defensive end allowing just 102 points per game its past four games. Houston also has won four straight, but the Rockets are 3-5 ATS their past eight games and didn't quite cover while defeating Memphis 120-118 on Monday. The Nuggets are 7-0 ATS playing on no rest and the Rockets have lost 10 of 11 at Denver. Take the Nuggets.
