Picking the Houston Rockets Over the Denver Nuggets

(Odds for the Houston Rockets ML is currently around 1.54.)

The Houston Rockets are the hottest team in the NBA right now. They currently have an 11 game winning streak and own the best record in the NBA. They face a tough challenge in the Denver Nuggets who are 7-1 in their last 8 games and currently have a 4 game winning streak. The Denver Nuggets own one of the best home records in the NBA at 24-7. The Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets are one of the few teams to own 2 wins against the Golden State Warriors this season. The reason I'm leaning towards the Rockets is because they won the first two meetings with the Denver Nuggets in Houston via blowouts. Of course winning in Denver, rather than Houston, will be far tougher but the Rockets are so hot right now that I think they can do it. Houston's win streak rolls on I think...

My pick is the Houston Rockets ML.
