Randy’s Pick
The Denver Nuggets are the better team, they're at home, and they have the rest advantage. The Houston Rockets played last night and are on the end of a back to back in the altitude, easily the worst spot for the second game in as many days. With that said, the Rockets have beaten the Nuggets twice this month, both in the underdog role. The Rockets continue to cover numbers, and we still need to check the status of Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon. I'm still grabbing the points with the Rockets on the road.
