Denver at Houston

Denver is a huge road favorite but this is their sixth road game over the last eight contests. They were flat in their last road games, losing 112-94 at Memphis as a +3 dog. This is a look-ahead spot for Denver, No. 1 in the Western Conference with a rematch showdown against No. 2 Memphis on deck. The Nuggets are 118-163 ATS on the road after having won three of their last four, plus 7-17 ATS against teams shooting 33% or worse from long range. Houston is happy to be home after a five-game road trip. In their last home contest, the Rockets lost 130-128 to Sacramento as a +8.5 dog. And the Rockets have covered three of their last four home games. Play Houston.
