Denver has the rebounding to keep the Rockets from playing their up-tempo style. The Rockets are going to have dead legs, too, after last night's double overtime victory against the Warriors. That huge victory also puts the Rockets in a major letdown spot. This marks Houston's fifth game in eight days.

The Nuggets are fired up and mad after getting upset at home by the shorthanded Heat in their last game. The Nuggets are healthier with the return of Danilo Gallinari and Will Barton.
