I am so incredibly tempted to type “schedule loss” and just walk away.
But we’re supposed to write 150 words. So...
In all seriousness, I think most Rockets fans wrote off both Nuggets games this season as schedule losses. Both are on the second night of back-to-backs with the Nuggets not playing the night before. On the one hand, this game specifically will be on the four-letter network so you know the young Nuggets will be up for it.
Houston, on the other hand, Houston is probably still flying into Denver as you’re reading this preview.
