What to Know

The Rockets will be in front of their home fans on Friday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will take on the Denver Nuggets at 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday. The Nuggets took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on the Rockets, who come in off a win.

The Rockets' three-game losing streak finally came to an end on Wednesday. They took down Memphis 111-91.

Among those leading the charge was Jalen Green, who scored 34 points. Less helpful for the Rockets was Dillon Brooks' abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored the Nuggets on Wednesday, but the final result did not. They fell to Orlando 124-119.

The Nuggets might have lost, but man, Nikola Jokic was a machine: he dropped a triple-double on 30 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists.

Houston now has a winning record of 7-6. As for Denver, they have been struggling recently, as they've lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 10-5 record this season.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Rockets haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 12.2 turnovers per game (they're ranked fourth in turnovers per game overall). However, it's not like the Nuggets (currently ranked fifth in turnovers per game) struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 12.3 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.

The Rockets came out on top in a nail-biter against the Nuggets in their previous matchup last Sunday, sneaking past 107-104. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was the Nuggets' Jokic, who dropped a triple-double on 36 points, 21 rebounds, and 11 assists. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will the Rockets still be able to contain him? There's only one way to find out.
