The Houston Rockets (26-12) travel to play the Denver Nuggets (24-15) on Wednesday at Ball Arena, the first game this season between the two teams. The Rockets won the season series 3-1 in 2023-24, with Alperen Şengün averaging 20.

More like a quarterback’s pass than a three-pointer, Nikola Jokić’s scarcely believable 66-foot shot pretty much summed up his historic performance in the Denver Nuggets’ 132-123 win over the Sacramento Kings.

Jokić became the first player to get 30 points, 20 rebounds and 15 assists in an NBA game since Wilt Chamberlain.

After missing the playoffs last season, the Houston Rockets have taken the league by storm and are behind only the Oklahoma City Thunder for the best record in the NBA. Led by Alperen Sengun, who is poised to make his first All-Star Game this season, the Rockets have the third-best defense in the league.
