The Denver Nuggets host the Houston Rockets tonight as Western Conference powerhouses do battle for the fourth and final time this season.<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant has been electric on the road this season, and my Rockets vs Nuggets predictions expect him to shine offensively.<\/p>\n

Here are my best free NBA picks<\/a> for this heavyweight bout on Wednesday, March 11.<\/p>\n

Tip-off is set for 10:00 p.m. ET from Ball Arena in Denver, with the game airing on ESPN.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockets vs Nuggets prediction<\/p>\n

Rockets vs Nuggets best bet: Kevin Durant Over 24.5 points (-112)<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant<\/a> is scoring just 24.1 points per game at home, but he\u2019s been excellent on the road, dropping 27.9 ppg outside of Houston. He\u2019s been particularly effective across his last six road games, averaging 31.7 points and scoring 25+ five times.<\/p>\n

Durant has scored at least 25 points in 21 of 31 road games, and he reached that mark in each of his two games at Ball Arena this season. In a matchup that should feature plenty of scoring, I expect KD to be effective on offense and keep his team competitive on the road.<\/p>\n

The Denver Nuggets<\/a> are just 4-6 ATS across their last 10 games overall. Denver is 14-16 ATS at home and 10-12 as the home favorite. The Houston Rockets<\/a> have covered the spread in six of seven games as the road underdog. Houston is 1-2 straight up against Denver this season, but both losses were by 3 points.<\/p>\n

The Nuggets have hit the Over more than any other team in the Association, doing so in 41 of 65 games. Denver is 16-14 to the over at home, and Houston is 18-16 to the Over on the road. Both teams are close to full strength, and offense won’t be in short supply.<\/p>\n
