The Denver Nuggets look to ride their six-game winning streak and beat the Houston Rockets twice this week on Saturday.

The Denver Nuggets look to stay hot and take a commanding 3-0 season series lead against the Houston Rockets at home on Saturday afternoon. These two already played this week in Denver, CO, with the Nuggets pulling off the 128-125 victory in overtime on Monday. Nikola Jokic was brilliant once again in this clash between two of the best teams in the Western Conference. Jokic ended the night with his 12th triple-double of the season, with 39 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. Denver beat the Rockets on their turf by another three-point victory nearly a month ago. The Nuggets are going for their seventh win in a row tonight. The Nuggets now hold the second spot in the West standings, only behind the best team in the league in the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Rockets are three games back of the Nuggets, while Houston sits in fifth in the West. Houston is coming off back-to-back losses in overtime, as it tries to avoid losing three in a row today.

Denver is coming off a 126-115 win against the Orlando Magic on Thursday, after a big rally in the second quarter. The Nuggets were down 47-33 midway through the second. The biggest turnaround in the quarter came from Jamal Murray, who scored 20 of his game-high 32 points in the second. The biggest headline of the night, though, once again came from the Joker. Jokic put up another triple-double with 23 points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds. But that wasn’t even the biggest news, as those 13 assists really made him stand above the rest. Jokic became the all-time assists leader amongst centers in NBA history. He entered the game six assists behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had 5,660. Save his seat in the Naismith Hall of Fame.

The Rockets are coming off a very surprising 133-128 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans in overtime on Thursday. The Pelicans have the worst record in the West, so it was a huge upset, especially because the Rockets had more than a 99 percent chance to win at their peak. Houston was up 22 points at the half, and the Pelicans were down 25 in the third quarter. Saadiq Bey led the charge for New Orleans, scoring 21 of his season-high 29 points in the second half. Kevin Durant still had a great game, scoring a game-high 32 points. The Pelicans tied a franchise high with the 25-point comeback, and the game was the largest comeback in the second half in franchise history. A trip back to Denver doesn’t make matters any better for the Rockets today.
