Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on 'Under 258.5' for the Total Points market in the Denver Nuggets vs Houston Rockets game is strongly backed by both teams' recent scoring history. The Nuggets' average score over their last five games is 110.6, while the Rockets' is 116. Combined, these average scores only reach 226.6, well below the 258.5 mark. Furthermore, when considering the scores of their opponents, neither team has a history of high-scoring games that approach the 258.5 total. The Nuggets' opponents average 105.8 at home and the Rockets' average 117.2 away, again totaling far less than the target. The model prediction of a total score of 229 further supports the bet on the 'Under 258.5'. These factors all indicate that a high-scoring game is statistically unlikely, making 'Under 258.5' a solid bet based on the data.

The bet on 'Houston Rockets 1.5' for the Point Spread market is data-driven. The Rockets have a strong recent away record, winning 4 out of their last 5 games, whilst Denver has only won 2 out of their last 5 home games. Moreover, Houston has been outscoring Denver in their recent matches, with an average score of 116 compared to Denver's 110.6.

Lastly, Denver's opponents are scoring higher (113.2) than Houston's (114), which potentially indicates a weaker defense for Denver. This data suggests that Houston is a favorable bet.
