Nuggets seem to be avoiding playoff matchup with Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets have gotten the better of the Denver Nuggets for the last few years. With how the standings are right now, could they be trying to avoid them in the playoffs?
The Houston Rockets have been clawing back from the bottom of the Western Conference since the terrible start to the season. The team is way different now and James Harden is once again an MVP candidate for it.
The ideal matchup for the team this year has always been to to get home court in the first round, then play the Denver Nuggets in the second round. Houston is an extremely tough matchup for how Denver plays, so that would be a perfect path to a Conference Finals rematch against Golden State.
