December 2 vs Rockets

This should be a good game because it is in Denver and Mike D’Antoni runs a high tempo offense with the Rockets, so how will they fair?

Who knows, but I believe the Nuggets have no answer for James Harden, who is a top scorer in the league right now. Rockets will win easily unless the Nuggets can get white hot from three and match Harden shot for shot. The Nuggets played a game about a week ago against the Chicago Bulls in which they are unable to contain Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler has nothing on James Harden. If the Denver Nuggets can not find an answer to Harden, they will not only lose, but it may end up being an incredibly long night. Control Harden and dominant their pitiful defense will be the keys in this matchup. This will be yet another game in which the Nuggets will with that Gary Harris was healthy.

I predict the Nuggets lose this game as Harden puts up close to 40. Stopping the Beard is easier said than done, and I think that Denver realizes the incredible struggle that it is to slow him down.
