Three days after taking the lead in the race for the Western Conference's final playoff spot by beating the only other team in contention, the Denver Nuggets find themselves tied again for the eighth seed. Winning their next game would put them back in the driver's seat.

But this could prove to be very difficult as they play two games in two days against two good teams in The Western Conference. Yesterday Denver just didn’t had a chance in front of Utah as they were beaten by 27 points. And now they have to face Houston witch comes after a five win streak and this win could help them to get a better seed in post-season.

My opinion is that Denver (48-32) will not win this hard game. The Rockets come after a great game against The Suns and they lead the series 2-1 but they could lead it 3-0 if there wasn’t that 1 point loss from Pepsi Center. So I’ll go low stakes on Houston.
