The Denver Nuggets host the Houston Rockets at Ball Arena on Friday, Nov. 20, in an Emirates NBA Cup group-stage game. The NBA lists tip-off at 10 p.m. Eastern, which is 8 p.m. in Denver, with the game on Prime Video. The Nuggets’ other Cup home game is Tuesday, Nov. 24 against Dallas, also at 8 p.m. Mountain.
A Friday-night Cup game against a Western Conference rival is the kind of date that sells quickly, so buy early through the team’s official ticket page. Prices are not published on the schedule page. Ball Arena is a short walk from the Union Station and Ball Arena-Elitch Gardens light rail stops, which beats downtown parking on a Friday night.
