Michael Porter Jr. had his best performance of the season with 30 points to secure a third consecutive win for Denver.

Jamal Murray made his return from a hamstring injury and he notched 16 points.

“The hamstring’s fine,” Murray said. “I’ve worked enough to get it back to strength. Now, it’s just another thing. I’ve got to work on that and hopefully I’ll be ready.”

Jalen Green led the way for the Rockets with 26 points, while Alperen Sengun finished off with 22.

“We just woke up pretty late,” Green said. “If we started off a little bit better, it would have been a different story.”
