Rockets vs. Nuggets Predictions for NBA on Peacock, 12/15

With a bit of a choppier schedule due to the NBA Cup knockout rounds, we actually haven’t seen the Rockets or Nuggets take the court since last Thursday. Both were able to snag wins, with Denver extending their winning streak to four and Houston winning their third game in the last four as well.

Having two of the top teams in the Western Conference go at it is sure to have Rockets vs. Nuggets predictions supporting both sides, but what caught our attention before really breaking things down is that both of these great squads lost their most recent games to the same team - the Dallas Mavericks.

They’re among the worst teams in the NBA, so it’s actually probably good news for fans of the Rockets and Nuggets that they’re taking on another high-caliber opponent and won’t overlook them. Houston and Denver also played one another not too long ago - just before Thanksgiving - which was a tight, three-point win for the Nuggets.

Bettors who took Nikola Jokic and company with their Rockets vs. Nuggets picks also had quite a sweat, as the point spread favored them by 2.5 points, so they very narrowly covered. As for the total, it stayed under by 13.5 points, so that one wasn’t quite as nerve-wracking. Of course, there are still a ton of other markets to explore as well.

That’s what we’ve done so that we could provide you with a best bet from our Rockets vs. Nuggets predictions.
 

 

 

Rockets vs. Nuggets Best Bet: Denver Team Total Over 118.5 Points (-115 at Novig)

We didn’t have to explore too far to find a market that we felt had great value; however, it might be one that you didn’t expect, given that we mentioned how easily the under hit when these teams recently met. Even if it does again, we’re isolating just one team with our Rockets vs. Nuggets predictions.

Although Denver scored just 112 points in that game, they’re still the #1 highest-scoring team in the NBA, especially since that matchup. Overall, they’ve scored nearly two points per game more than even the Oklahoma City Thunder, which says enough right there. However, it’s also as of late that we love even more.

Since that win over Houston, they’ve been coming through for Rockets vs. Nuggets predictions, scoring 123+ points in eight of nine games, and better yet, 130+ in five of their last seven games! As impressed as we’ve been with Alperen Sengun this season, Nikola Jokic is one guy that we aren’t worried about having a big game against him.

With all of that in mind, we’ve got Denver’s team total over 118.5 points (-115 at Novig) as the best bet from our Rockets vs. Nuggets predictions.
