The Rockets signed several veteran players, changed coaches, and, as the start of the championship shows, can now solve tournament problems. On the eve of the game against Denver, Houston had a great homestretch - a 95:106 loss to Golden State and five wins. Among them, the Rockets beat Sacramento twice (107:89 and 122:97), Los Angeles Lakers (128:94), and New Orleans (104:101).
The game of Ime Udoka's team in defense is worth noting. In addition, the Rockets play slow basketball - the slowest pace in the league at the beginning of the championship.
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets lost to Minnesota on the road but destroyed everyone at home, even without Jamal Murray due to injury. Before the trip to Houston, Michael Malone's team had won four straight at home - over Dallas (125:114), Chicago (123:101), New Orleans (134:116), and Golden State (108:105).
Overall, Denver has eight wins in nine games. The reigning champions rank third in scoring defense at 106.0 points per game but only tenth in scoring offense at 116.0 points per game.
Expert Betting Tips
Houston and Denver have played well against each other in the past, but now they are among the best teams in the NBA regarding defensive efficiency, so a low-scoring game will not be a surprise. The Rockets look great, but the Nuggets seem to be a team with no weaknesses, and even Jamal Murray's injury didn't stop them from beating Golden State.
