They meet Monday night in Houston, with the Nuggets a 3.5-point favorite at the sportsbook. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Matchup:<\/strong> Nuggets at Rockets<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time: 8:30 p.m. ET<br \/>\nVenue: Toyota Center<br \/>\nSpread: Nuggets -3.5<br \/>\nOver\/Under: 215.5 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets (45-21, 31-30-5 ATS) are on fire. They\u2019ve won six consecutive games after Saturday\u2019s 125-108 demolition of Memphis and are on a 9-2 run in their past 11 games. Denver has been solid if unspectacular on NBA odds; the team is 5-3-2 against the spread in its past 10 outings, not to mention going 3-0-1 in its last four games. <\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets have won back-to-back games on the road against the spread and are 5-2-3 ATS in their past 10 games away from home. <\/p>\n<p>Denver\u2019s offense has been fantastic during the six-game win streak by cranking out 116 points per game. Carmelo Anthony\u2014who leads Denver at 28.5 points per game\u2014finished atop the score sheet in four of those match ups. Veteran point guard Chauncey Billups has also been incredibly consistent lately; he\u2019s scored at least 21 points in four straight outings. <\/p>\n<p>Houston (33-31, 29-35 ATS) has won three of its last four games, including a 116-108 victory over the Nets on the weekend. The lone loss came in overtime on the road against Detroit. Those winning ways haven\u2019t crossed over to the sportsbook, however. Houston has covered just four times in its last 10 games against NBA odds. Playing at home has been even worse, with the Rockets going 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games at the Toyota Center. <\/p>\n<p>While not as explosive as Denver, the Rockets have played well on offense too. They\u2019re averaging 107.8 points per game over their last four contests. Power forward Luis Scola has big a big reason for the step up in production. <\/p>\n<p>The big man has exploded; despite averaging 15.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game on the year, he\u2019s cranked out 26.2 points and 15.2 rebounds per game over his last five.  <!-- Affiliate Code Do NOT Modify--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Online Sports Betting at Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><!-- End affiliate Code--><\/p>\n<p>Denver and Houston have played an incredibly close series with each other over the past few seasons. They\u2019ve split their last 10 games both straight up and against the spread. The Nuggets have had an edge this season, though, by winning and covering both match ups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nuggets vs. Rockets Free PICK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Denver looks pretty much unstoppable right now, at least on offense. The Rockets haven\u2019t played well against the spread at home and they\u2019ll have a hard time slowing down Carmelo and company. <\/p>\n<p>Bet on the Nuggets.<\/p>\n<h3>CLICK HERE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT AT SPORTSBOOK.COM AND BET $50 ON THE HALF TIME LINE FOR THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT MATCHUPS!!!!!!<\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our experts weigh in with this week\u2019s best Thursday night hoops NBA picks for gambling on all the action\u2026tonight on the hardwood we get the Denver Nuggets (45-21 SU, 31-30-5 ATS) vs. Houston Rockets (33-31 SU, 29-35 ATS)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":185,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[5958,6745,8946,22387,4045,578,22393,22394,22395,10399,4574,20992,20991,9273,25986,25987,6744,25985,9921],"class_list":["post-20201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","tag-denver-nuggets","tag-denver-nuggets-vs-houston-rockets","tag-denver-vs-houston","tag-free-nba-hoops-prediction","tag-free-nba-picks","tag-houston-rockets","tag-monday-night-nba","tag-monday-night-nba-picks","tag-monday-night-picks","tag-nba-free-pick","tag-nba-free-predictions","tag-nba-parlay-betting","tag-nba-parlay-picks","tag-nba-selections","tag-nuggets-rockets-odds","tag-nuggets-rockets-picks","tag-nuggets-vs-rockets","tag-nuggets-vs-rockets-predictions","tag-online-nba-predictions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/185"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20201"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107107,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20201\/revisions\/107107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
