Houston Rockets: 3 keys to defeating the Denver Nuggets

The Rockets (13-4) are sitting pretty at the top of the Western Conference as we approach the 20 game mark. They have an MVP favorite in James Harden playing the best basketball of his career and a Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul returning from injury.

The Nuggets (10-7) come into tonight after dominating the Sacramento Kings last time out. Though Denver coach Mike Malone was suspended for the game and forward Paul Millsap is out for a significant amount of time, they were still able to score 114 points.

The Rockets will need to come out firing in what is sure to be a shootout.
