Houston is a very good team at home and can knock down the 3-ball.
Winning this Western conference game will be huge for the Rockets - and they will do that. Houston knows the consequences for this game with barely a handful of games left in the regular season.


Denver can get shut down when playing Houston - by a defense that has struggled against before with giving up loads of easy pts and 113 ppg to the Rockets, and this will be a tough game to break that pattern of ineptness. Denver has to try and make sure they don't get caught with too many touchy calls with a 10th ranked fouling team, they don't want to give up too many easy pts.
Look for the Rockets to win this game by 10 or more pts.
