The Houston Rockets have answered a season-opening three-game losing streak with five consecutive wins. Now they'll face the reigning NBA champions Denver Nuggets though, and I think the visitors will win this one comfortably. They'll come into this game well-rested with three days off since their 108-105 win over Golden State on Wednesday while Houston battled New Orleans in a close game Friday night.

The Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 3 or more days rest and Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite of 0.5-4.5.

3* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS.
