The Nuggets are primed to not only cover the spread but to grab the win as well in this one. Jokic as a pick or home underdog is a great bet and considering that Denver has been playing some of their best basketball of the year, it gives them a leg up, even as they welcome another strong team to town. The Nuggets have the offense to keep pace with Houston, which not many teams can do. Houston is solid defensively but sometimes struggle to score points.
Add in plenty of experience against a young roster and a big game like this quickly takes shape in favor of the Nuggets. The Nuggets have covered the spread in four straight games and will keep that trend going into this one.
