Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets
NBA Picks & Betting News

Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets Free Pick & Preview 12/31/19

December 31st, 2019 By: Mike McDermott

The Houston Rockets (22-11) will have their hands full against the NBA’s top scoring defense when they meet the Denver Nuggets (23-9) at Toyota Center. The game starts at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, December 31, 2019, and will air on NBATV.

Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets Free Prediction

The last time the Nuggets played, they topped the Sacramento Kings, 120-115, but they were unable to cover as 8-point favorites. The total points for the game (235) finished well over the projected point total of 207. The Nuggets made 28 of their 31 free throws (90.3 percent) and had an offensive rebounding percentage of 27.8 (above their season average of 24.6). Denver was led by Will Barton, who had 19 points and five assists.

The Rockets were beaten by the New Orleans Pelicans in their last game, 127-112. They were not able to cover as 5-point underdogs. The game’s total points (239) were well over the O/U total of 223. New Orleans’ 7.7 turnover percentage was their biggest advantage over Houston, who had a rate of 15.9. The Pelicans’ mark was better than their season average of 13.1, while the Rockets’ was above their season average of 12.4. Houston’s Isaiah Hartenstein recorded 19 points and nine rebounds in the game.

This will be the second game of the season between these two teams. James Harden had 27 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in the first matchup, in which the Rockets lost 105-95, unable to cover as 1.5-point underdogs. The game finished with a total of 200 points, which was 21.5 points below the projected point total of 221.5 points. The Nuggets had a much better turnover percentage (12.2 vs. 18.7) and had a much better offensive rebounding percentage (30.6 vs. 21.4).

Denver is 23-9 straight up (SU), but they have a hard time covering the spread (11-16-5 against the spread (ATS)). Of the Nuggets’ 32 games, 20 have finished under the O/U total.

Meanwhile, Houston is 22-11 SU and 17-16 ATS. Similarly to Denver, Rockets games also tend to finish under the total (57.6 percent).

It will be a matchup of conflicting tempos as the up-tempo Rockets (ranked second in the NBA in possessions per game) will look to push the more half-court-oriented Nuggets (27th in possessions per game).
