Rockets vs. Nuggets Betting Preview 2019

The Houston Rockets vs. Denver Nuggets game will not be nationally televised but should see plenty of betting action nonetheless.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston), Altitude (Denver)

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (11-3): Harden is averaging an NBA-best 39.2 points per game and Westbrook cautioned about taking his running mate's scoring prowess for granted. "I think that a lot of people like to normalize greatness when you see it over and over again," Westbrook told reporters. "But it's not normal because there's no one else that can do it. If it was normal everybody would do it. He's put himself in a position to one of the best scorers of all time." The triple-double was Westbrook's third of the season as he continues to mesh with Harden since being acquired from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the offseason.

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (9-3): Point guard Jamal Murray established season bests of 39 points and seven 3-pointers in the victory over Memphis, which featured Denver shooting 55.1 percent from the field and knocking down 18-of-32 3-point attempts. It was a welcome sight to have Murray's shots slithering through the net after he was 1-of-11 shooting while scoring a season-worst four points against the Brooklyn nets in the club's previous game. "I had a feeling he was going to come out not only being aggressive, but shooting the ball at a high level," Nuggets coach Michael Malone told reporters. "He's too good of a shooter to continue shooting the way he had been recently."

Player Prop Bets

The Rockets Clint Capela has had 16 to 22 points in three of his last five games.

15+ was priced at -130 but 17+ pays $12 for every $10 bet, 19+ pays $20, 21+ pays $31, 23+ pays $48 and give us 25+ points you will get paid $68 for every $10 bet.
