The Denver Nuggets have occupied the sixth spot in the conference with a win-loss record of 39-26, and at home, they are solid 17-13. In their last ten fixtures, the Nuggets have won four clashes. When we talk about their stats, they have the best offensive rating in their league, while their defensive rating has placed them in the 21st spot. The Rockets, on the other hand, have been 6-4 in the last ten games, and are sixth offensively and fifth defensively.

While the Rockets have a defensive upper hand, the Nuggets maintain the best offense in the league.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Denver Nuggets vs Houston Rockets

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Nikola Jokic Over 27.5 points
Leg 2: Jamal Murray Over 21.5 points
Leg 3: Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 rebounds

Combined odds: +561

We have built this same-game parlay around the Denver Nuggets players to have dominance on the court. Nikola Jokic, apart from being the leading Nuggets’ scorer, has gotten solid control on the board. Apart from him, Jamal Murray is another key scorer, who has been scoring well whenever he has had the opportunity and requirements. We expect them to make the most of their elite offense and homecourt advantage.

These legs are correlated considering if the Nuggets players dominate the court right from the beginning, their players will end up with more scoring opportunities and thus, more volume. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
