Coming into Wednesday night, the Houston Rockets stand proudly with an 11-3 record. However, the Denver Nuggets are no slouch at 9-3, right behind the Rockets in the Western Conference standings. Despite a sluggish start from its franchise player, Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets refuse to flop in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. Denver Nuggets vs. Houston Rockets is an elite matchup.
Sadly, early in the season, the MVP-hopeful Jokic isn’t putting up the elite numbers from his 2018-2019 campaign. Withstanding Jokic’s subpar basic counting stats, the Nuggets look to build on its winning streak by besting a Rockets team on an impressive early-season run.
