The Denver Nuggets are looking to contend in the Western Conference while the Houston Rockets are the ultimate rebuilding NBA team. This means that they line up in different ways for each other to benefit each side.

As for the Rockets, they seem to have a centerpiece player to build around. Jalen Green has looked strong over us for a couple of weeks in the league after being drafted second overall in this year’s draft.
