Denver at Houston

Denver has a chance to clinch the No. 4 seed in the West with a win. This is a big game as they can slip to the Play-In if they lose and the Warriors, Timberwolves, and Grizzlies win. The Nuggets make this trip with a healthy roster as the status of guard Jamal Murray (21 ppg, 6.1 apg) has been upgraded from doubtful to probable. Denver is third in the NBA in scoring and No. 1 in shooting (50.6%), while the defense is 14th in field goal shooting allowed. Houston is already locked into the No. 2 seed and has nothing to gain from this game. The Rockets come off blowout losses to the Clippers and Lakers failing to cover as underdogs of +10 and +13.5. Play Denver.
