The Rockets and Nuggets played each Monday in Denver with the Nuggets covering as 11.5 favorites in a 129-113 win. That game featured a lack of defense from both sides that was apparent to anyone who viewed, with neither team being able to consistently string together stops.
What helped the Nuggets win was their stars showing out, with C'Nikola Jokic'scoring 32 points with 12 rebounds and 8 assists, and G'Jamaal Murray'scoring 31 points with 4 from behind the arc.
