The Nuggets visit the Rockets on Tuesday as we continue our NBA odds series with a Nuggets-Rockets prediction, pick, and how to watch.

If Jokic plays, the Nuggets should absolutely roll and cover with ease. The Rockets have been in tank mode for quite some time but that has given them a chance to evaluate their young players. With 5.0 threes per game on 50% three-point shooting, the talented guard could erupt against a shaky Denver defense. [Denver Nuggets](/nba/denver-nuggets) (52-26) visit the [Houston Rockets](/nba/houston-rockets) (19-60) on Tuesday night! Green leads the way with 23.8 PPG and 5.0 APG. Although Denver held him to 16.7 PPG in the three prior meetings, look for Green to put up better numbers at home. Denver may have lost two of its last three games, but the Nuggets remain one of the best teams in the league. In six games without Jokic this season, Murray lead the team with 22.5 PPG and 8.0 APG. Considering Houston boasts one of the weakest defenses in the NBA, expect the shot-hungry Porter Jr. Houston has long been eliminated from the playoffs but the young Rockets still have plenty to play for. It may be unlikely the two-time MVP plays in such a meaningless game but Denver features enough quality players that could easily cover against a team they’ve beaten by double-digits each of the prior three matchups.
