The Denver Nuggets (43-19) take to the floor tonight for their first action since Sunday night’s thrilling overtime victory over the LA Clippers. They’re heading south for a matchup with the Houston Rockets (13-47). Tonight is a brief one-game road trip for the Nuggets before heading home for three straight games while tonight starts a set of four out of five games at home for the Rockets.
The Nuggets raced out to a big lead against the Clippers on Sunday, but they couldn’t hold off Kawhi Leonard who just steadily willed his team back into the game.
