NBA basketball game between the Houston Rockets and the Denver Nuggets at the Toyota Center.
The Houston Rockets take on the Denver Nuggets at the Toyota Center on Monday, November 9, 2026. It's a regular-season NBA matchup, with the Rockets playing at home in downtown Houston.
If you've been following the Rockets this season, this is one of those early-season games that helps set the tone. The Nuggets are coming in from Denver, so this is a cross-conference clash with two teams from different sides of the map meeting up on a Monday night. It's the kind of game that usually draws a good crowd to the center of town, especially since it's a weekday game rather than a weekend slot.
On the court, it's the Rockets hosting the Nuggets for the full four quarters. The Rockets will be the ones in the home jerseys, and the Nuggets will be the visiting team. Beyond that, it's a standard NBA game: two teams, one court, and a few hours of basketball. If you're a Rockets fan, it's a chance to see them play in front of their own crowd early in the season.
