On a four game losing spree at the moment, Denver nuggets would have been one of the last sides Houston Rockets would have wanted to see the face off come today. At a time when nothing is going right for the Rockets, in Denver they find themselves paired against an extremely ominous opposition, a side who will be looking to capitalise on their catapultation.
Defeated 112-107 by Oklahoma City Thunder in their most recent outing in the league, Houston Rockets find themselves having hit a rock at the moment. Dreary and lacklustre at the moment, their callous showings have resulted in an apathy for the side with the unit slumping down to 5the courtesy of a horrific start to 2020.
And in second placed Denver Nuggets, they are taking on an extremely staunch side, a unit which looks set to make thing even more cumbersome for them. The 107-107 over Minnesota the last time around was Denver’s fourth win in five games, a spree which has seen them consolidate on the coveted second position at the moment in the Western Conference.
Probable Winner
Although Houston Rockets will fare off better infront of their ardent supporters, Denver Nuggets are just too formidable an opposition. This is going to be yet another encounter Houston end up losing with Denver’s attacking unit pummelling them continuously.

HOU Vs DEN Dream11 Point Guard
With Murray out for Denver Nuggets at the moment owing to his injury, Monte Morris is all set to regain his spot as the side’s point guard. And the player has pulled off some solid displays as well with his ball rotations and quick ball movements seeing him turnover possession quickly for the side.
HOU Vs DEN Dream11 Shooting Guard
The 36.9 ppg and 7.4 apg meant James Harden was always going to be included in our Dream 11 setup from Houston Rockets. The player has pulled off some staunch displays and playing in his own stadium, he’s set to flourish and thrive today as well.
HOU Vs DEN Dream11 Small Forward
We are moving in with a partnership from Denver Nuggets over here, one which comprises of both Will Barton and Jerami Grant. The partnership has been an extremely deadly one at the moment with the two moving in tandem, manifesting their attributes to send down open treys by opening up the zone for each other.
Elsewhere, we have the one player find a place from the hosts side as well with Eric Gordon being our pick for the day.
HOU Vs DEN Dream11 Power Forward
The spate of injuries his side are suffering at the moment in this component has meant Torrey Craig has finally gotten chances he was earlier left bereft of. And the shooting guard has been tenacious for his side, perfectly filling in the void he was asked to by becoming the talisman of their attacking plays in the paint.
The one player from Houston Rockets is being brought in as well by us with P.J. Tucker continuing to be perused by us.
HOU Vs DEN Dream11 Centre
The fulcrum of his side, Nikola Jokic has been prevelant everywhere for his. His number are an epitomise of that gripping narrative with his electric 19.4 ppg, 6.3 apg and the 10 rpg to go with them alluding that rhetoric.
Star Player
Jokic will represent our side as the star player.
