The Houston Rockets will make the trip to the state of Colorado to face off with a Western Conference rival, the Denver Nuggets, on this Wednesday (March 11) night. The Rockets will be looking to keep their outcomes in the win column for the second straight game, while the Nuggets are going to be looking to get back in the win column in the first place after a recent spate of losses.
We expect the eventual outcome of the injury report to go a long way toward deciding this game, but we think a Rockets win is on the table even if a key player ends up sitting out.
Records, standing, and streaks
At present, the Rockets have a 40-24 record, which has them third in the Western Conference standings.
The Nuggets are the owners of a 39-26 record and a two-game losing streak, good enough for sixth in the West.
What happened in the last game for each team?
Houston beat the Toronto Raptors 113-99 at home.
Denver lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder 129-126 on the road.
Injuries
For Houston, Jae’Sean Tate (knee), Fred VanVleet (knee) and Steven Adams (ankle) are out.
For Denver, Peyton Watson (hamstring) is out, and Jamal Murray (ankle) and Cam Johnson (back) are game-time decisions.
