The Denver Nuggets are hosting the streaking Houston Rockets on Wednesday night in the first game of their regular season series.

Both teams are coming into this game having won their last four games in a row and neither team will be easily swayed into giving that up. The Nuggets, however, are on the back end of back-to-back having played and beat the Dallas Mavericks just the night before with a final score of 112-101.

The Nuggets have submitted their injury report and they have seven players listed: Vlatko Cancar, Aaron Gordon, PJ Hall, DaRon Holmes II, Spencer Jones, Jamal Murray, and Julian Strawther,
