Rockets vs. Nuggets: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report, More
In this story:
The Houston Rockets will close their two-game mini-series against the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night inside Ball Arena. The Rockets will attempt to bounce back from a 129-113 loss on Monday.
Two-time MVP winner Nikola Jokic stole the show against the Rockets, as he led the Nuggets with a game-high 32 points, 16 coming in the third quarter, 12 rebounds and eight assists. But Jokic's right-hand man Jamal Murray had an impressive night respectively.
Murray finished with a season-high 31 points on 11-of-17 shooting, 4-of-8 from 3-point range, and five assists. His Game 1 performance marked Murray's best career game against the Rockets.
"He can really score," Kevin Porter Jr. said. "I feel like people don't give him enough credit for what he can do both inside and out. We have to respect his 3-point shot. But he was really using his floater, and it is a tough guard."
