Given the Nuggets recent performance without Jamal Murray, I can see the rockets winning this one. Especially since their defense is really good.

Good luck Rockets bros. May the better team win.
I see the Nuggets are already pulling my favorite "get everyone except MPJ to shoot 3s"
Jokic's defense the last few games has been non-existent
Was that Jokic yelling at Christian Braun or whoever on POA defense?
Seems like Jokic is frustrated.
I was pretty like oh shit when this game started since Jokic was in MVP form but then the Rockets went on a 13-0 run.
big guy getting calls, something's gonna happen at the clutch
Uncle Jeff still got it
The Lebron of role players
Denver could really use a 3rd guy who can create a shot
It's insane how bad everyone other than Jokic or Murray looks when they have to actually dribble the ball lol
They won a title with this formula, so it seems okay
At least we're keeping it close with joker on the floor. Let's hope bench shows up like last time we played them.
Jokic is absolutely killing right now.
Jokic is taking so many 3’s this year, and I think that it’s not that he’s just settling cause he’s tired or his wrist hurts, but I think it’s cause he thinks that’s the next big step in his game and is trying to extend his range to being a consistent and volume 3pt shooter.
Denver depth really could be a lot better
I don't think I've ever seen another championship team that instantly becomes play-in caliber if you remove their 2nd best player
Uncle Jeff Green will have like a 35 inch vertical until he´s 48
Nah he just gets buffs against his nephews
Garrett almost hit that half court shot, rip
Everyone outside of Jokic is 1-16. Rockets don’t respect anyone outside of Jokic
Rockets hitting some circus shots tonight
Long step back 3’s, acrobatic and tough layups, just getting everything they want.
someone not named jokic need to score
lol Jeff Green always gets up for the Nuggets
Why doesn’t Denver just have five Jokic’s? Are they stupid?
Jeff Green and being prime Wilt vs the Nuggets lol
This looks even rougher in person
Holy shit Denver, stop driving and getting blocked every time
Rockets to the moon with their stocks
Sigh the rockets are never beating the allegations we can only win against injured teams
Nuggets gotta change their play signs when they play vs Jeff Green
rockets defense has been amazing this season, i wanted Udoka despite being a piece of shit human being but rockets were the worst defensive team last year
I don't think anyone knows enough of what happened to warrant calling some a piece of shit.
feel like pure shit just want him back
jeff green
Is Malone actually a good coach? The offense without jokic is basically nonexistent
no one can run point other than murray who's out
Nuggets scored 2 points this quarter lol
If Jokic is even missing the close-range hook-shots then we are completely screwed
Nuggets are fricking sucking a rock rn
Common at least make it close
Some people say that Steve Kerr is a fraud who gets carried by Steph
That isn't really true but this is what the actual example of something like that looks like in real time lol
Nuggets need Murray
What happend? I left it when it was like 20-23
Thats a weak foul call
Denver cutting it below 20 is imo important.
Jokic killing it but the rest of the squad needs to keep hitting their shots
Idk if Houston keeps up the crazy shooting, but if they do it’s ogre
Jokic is going to need to surpass Kobe's 81 if Denver are going to win this one lol
It's just not happening for anyone else right now
Considering this game was looking like it'd be 58-29 at halftime 10 minutes ago... could be worse. Still within Jokic magic run range.
Bruh, you're 6'11", dunk that!
Gillespie is god awful
mpj and gordon are just turnover machines man, as soon as they try anything other than catch and shoot for mpj and close range dunk for gordon
for a guy that strong and athletic to get stripped by FVV in the post is just sad
Maybe the low elevation is messing with the Nuggets
There is really no point in Aaron Gordon drawing fouls when he is shooting 50% from the FT line
Gordon is soooooooo bad in isolation
AG is washed. He’s so bad can’t even’s get to the rim anymore
Wonder if Jokic will do some wild shit today lol. 3 games in a row, could be 4 with today
