Houston at Denver

Denver has been a strange team thus far this season, and truly miss Nene on the defensive end of the court. Boykins is hurt, which has put pressure on Earl Watson and Andre Miller. This Denver team has not played the same defense that we became accustomed to during their great second half run one season ago. They are giving up easy baskets in boatloads, and have beem horrible from the free throw line. McGrady typically has huge games in Denver for some reason. The Nuggets really have no answer for him defensively. Houston is 11-3 ATS on the road this year! Somewhat of a rivalry game here, going with the dawg for two stars.
