The Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets face off in a game between two teams that started off hot but are now starting to somewhat struggle. Both teams have lost three out of the last four games, and both teams are missing two players.

The Nuggets have two players listed on their injury report: Jamal Murray and Vlatko Cancar. Jamal Murray is out with a right hamstring strain, and Vlatko Cancar is out with left knee surgery. Nikola Jokic and the rest of the Nuggets' starting lineup will be available to play tonight.

The Houston Rockets have five players listed on their injury report: Nate Hinton, Victor Oladipo, Jermaine Samuels Jr., Amen Thompson, and Cam Whitmore. Nate Hinton is out due to a G League two-way, Victor Oladipo is out due to left patellar tendon repair, Jermaine Samuels Jr. is out due to a G League two-way, Amen Thompson is out due to a right ankle sprain, and Cam Whitmore is out due to a G League assignment. The Rockets are missing two players, but not anyone who has played a major role in their lineup.

Tonight is an important game for both of these teams. Whoever wins this game will finally go on a much-needed two-game winning streak, and whoever loses this game will have lost four out of the last five games.

The Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets face off at 8:00 p.m. EST tonight.
