Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Season record: 42-19.
After a challenging weekend facing formidable teams like Memphis and the Los Angeles Clippers, the Denver Nuggets will now be playing on the road.
Their upcoming opponent is going through a rough patch, so the level of difficulty on Tuesday should not be as high. Nonetheless, the Nuggets must remain cautious as they have struggled away from Denver, holding a 15-15 record when playing on the road. On a positive note, they have won their last nine meetings against this opponent, which should boost their confidence.
Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Season record: 13-46.
The Houston Rockets concluded a string of five consecutive away games by facing the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Whether on the road or at home, it doesn’t look like this franchise will try any time soon to at least improve on its dismal 22-23 record this campaign.
Prior to the match against Portland, they were on a losing streak of 8 consecutive defeats, a sign of their dismal performance. They will try to come out unscathed against the best team in their conference, although having lost 20 of the 28 games played at home, there seems to be very little hope for them to achieve this task.
JefeBet Prediction
The Houston Rockets have been struggling on both offense and defense, averaging just 109.6 points per game (the second worst in the league) and allowing 118.1 points per game (the sixth worst in the league). These stats make it difficult for them to compete against teams like the Denver Nuggets, who have a strong balance of offense and defense.
The Nuggets have recently played tough games against high-quality opponents, and they have the opportunity to continue their winning streak in the regular season by taking advantage of their dominance over the Rockets. The Rockets have not beaten the Nuggets since 2020, and it is expected that the visitors will have a relatively easy time winning on Tuesday.
In summary, the Rockets’ poor performance on both sides of the court, coupled with the Nuggets’ recent successes and dominance over their opponents, suggests that the Nuggets will emerge victorious in their upcoming game.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Spread.
