Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets head-to-head record
The recent head-to-head record between the Nuggets and the Rockets suggests a competitive but slightly Nuggets-leaning clash, with Denver capturing three of the last five contests. The Nuggets have two easy victories in 2025—126-111 and 116-111—demonstrating their offensive productivity and capacity to pull away late.
However, the Rockets have shown that they are capable of retaliating, as evidenced by their commanding 128-108 victory earlier in the season and their 114-106 victory in 2023. In their match in 2023, Denver finished with a high-scoring score of 134-124, demonstrating that both teams are capable of putting up large scoring numbers.
With the Nuggets starting as slight favorites and the Rockets still having a great chance to pull off an upset if they start strong, this game might be another fast-paced, high-offense contest based on this pattern.
