A full breakdown of the Nuggets vs. Rockets NBA Cup Matchup. We provide an in-depth analysis of what we saw from the players on the floor, coaching strategy as well as larger takeaways we had. Some game-specific topics we touch on include: How Jamal Murray looks physically, Reed Sheppard continuing to show positive flashes on offense (while his defense also continues to worry us), what Amen Thompson currently is as a player, and Denver’s approach to dealing with Houston’s offensive rebounding prowess.

Our bigger picture, playoff-adjacent, analysis consists of contrasting Denver’s halfcourt shot-creation with Houston’s and how we think Houston will fare against higher quality competition in general.
