HOU vs DEN Dream11 Match Prediction

 

HOU vs DEN Dream11: Houston Rockets will look to snap its four-game losing run when they play host to Denver Nuggets at Toyota Center on Thursday morning (IST). Rockets last lost to Oklahoma City Thunder, in what was the worst defeat for Mike D’Antoni’s team this season. The reason being that Houston had a 17-point lead over the OKC going into the fourth quarter, and the fact that they still ended up losing 107-112, tells the problems with the Rockets these days.
That said, James Harden and Co is too good a team not to snap the run. Harden especially will be more motivated to turn the corner, after his own problems on the court.
Denver Nuggets, meanwhile, won 100-107 against Indiana Pacers in the last game. Before that game, the Nuggets dropped a home game against Indiana Pacers. Nuggets are 3rd in the Western Conference standings.

Grand League tips:

  • This is an interesting game two giants of Western Conference are against each other and there are players who can turn the match with their efforts.
  • That’s why choosing a captain for this game will be difficult, considering Nikola Jokic, Russell Westbrook and James Harden all are playing this game, while Clint Capela is there as well.
  • If the form is an indicator, then Russell Westbrook is in a good moment and can be the biggest game-changer in this match.
  • But don’t count James Harden out of the picture, for he is the most lethal player in the NBA, and is the only player to average more than 35 points per game this season.
  • Nikola Jokic is also a kind of player who loves to dominate everything on the court. He is Nuggets‘ best player and must be considered.
