Game Preview
On December 8 at Ball Arena, the Houston Rockets (9-9) play the Denver Nuggets (14-8).
Although they have been unstoppable thus far, the Nuggets will be trying to end a two-game little slump. In their last game, they were defeated by Los Angeles 111-102 and sadly, the Nuggets were unable to sustain their early lead, trailing 15 points with 1:43 remaining in the first quarter. Michael Porter Jr. scored eighteen points and pulled down 9 rebounds, while Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double of 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, and Jamal Murray topped the club with 23 points and 6 assists. The Nuggets got off to an early 15-point lead but let up 40 points in the second quarter and as a team, they shot only 41% from the floor and 12 of 31 from the 3-point line. Denver’s starting five all score more than ten points per game on average.
The Houston Rockets are currently struggling, having lost 6 of their previous 9 matches altogether. However, they will be looking to bounce back after defeating the Thunder 110-101 in their last game to end a 3-game losing streak. Alperen Sengun contributed 21 points and 7 assists, while Aaron Holiday scored 22 points off the bench, and Dillon Brooks paced the club with 23 points on 9 of 17 shooting. The triumph of the Rockets was the consequence of multiple outstanding offensive displays. Aaron Holiday, who made six of seven shots from beyond the arc, was one of the most noteworthy and in each of the last 4 matches he’s played, Holiday has scored more points than he did the prior time around. If the Rockets want to defeat the Nuggets on the road, then this type of play from every member of the squad is required. The Nuggets have yet to lose a game at home this season, while the Rockets have not won a game away from home.
