The Denver Nuggets are back home briefly for a one game showdown with the Houston Rockets. After winning back to back games on the road, Denver looks to keep the good vibes going by beating a thorn in their side tonight. Without a doubt, the latest iteration of the Nuggets have struggled with the Rockets moreso than any other team. The Rockets combination of extremely high level pick and roll ball handlers with excellent roll men creates a very difficult matchup problem for the Nuggets and specifically their star Nikola Jokic. With the Rockets able to pick and choose their matchups so well by forcing a switch through their pick and roll, Nikola consistently finds himself against those aforementioned ball handlers such as James Harden or Chris Paul at the perimeter.
