Denver at Houston

Houston has beaten Denver eight times in a row, including 109-99 in the only meeting this season on Nov. 13. The Rockets had a six-game winning streak snapped in a 110-101 loss at Portland on Saturday, but that was understandable as they were coming off an emotional, 135-134, win at Golden State two nights before. Denver is 7-20 ATS after scoring at least 120 points the last two seasons, and they defeated Charlotte, 123-110, on Saturday. Nikola Jokic scored a season-high 39 points and added 12 rebounds, six assists, and three steals. Houston is 8-0-1 ATS its last nine home games and 8-1-1 ATS its last 10 against Western Conference teams. Also, the Rockets have covered five in a row against teams with winning percentages of .600 or better. The linemaker made this a near even game, so go with the Rockets on the moneyline.
