Pinnacle vs 609 DEN
Analysis: Quick turnaround from last Saturday at Pepsi Center, a 109-105 Rockets win. In first meeting, Houston rolled by 18 at Denver on Dec. 2, when James Harden (scored only 20) didn't have to put in any extra work, as six other Rockets scored in double digits when Mike D'Antoni's team torched the nets with better than 51% shooting. Denver still gamely hanging on to the 8th and final West playoff slot into last week, though Nuggets have been gifted with some beatable foes (Kings twice and Lakers) in the first half of March, and still can't seem to get all hands on deck, with PF Kenneth Faried (back) hurting and Wilson Chandler now dealing with a groin strain, all after Nikola Jokic and Danilo Gallinari just returned from short absences.
