The Denver Nuggets ( 10 ) defeated the Houston Rockets ( 0 - 1 ) 105 - 85 on Wednesday at the Toyota Center in Houston . Despite opening the season on their home court , the Rockets struggled to find the bottom of the net in this one . As a team , the Rockets shot just 34 percent from the field and limped to a brutal 23 percent clip from deep . The Nuggets , on the other hand , stayed hot all game long , shooting 50 percent from the field and 48 percent from beyond the arc . In a relatively ugly game with 37 combined turnovers between the teams , the Nuggets were able to cash in the most and finished with a surprising 20 - point victory . Emmanuel Mudiay , the Nuggets ' seventh overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft , made his much anticipated regular season debut . Mudiay had a strong day shooting the ball , finishing with 17 points ( 6 - 13 FG , 3 - 5 3Pt , 2 - 4 FT ) over 37 minutes . He nearly completed the unconventional triple - double , as he also posted nine assists and 11 turnovers . While the ridiculous amount of turnovers is concerning , the Nuggets will need to give their rookie some time to settle in and get accustomed to NBA basketball . Danilo Gallinari led the Nuggets in scoring , recording a team - high of 23 points ( 7 - 15 FG , 3 - 5 3Pt , 6 - 6 FT ) , to go along with eight rebounds and three blocked shots . He averaged just 12 points and 4 rebounds last season , so it was a very nice start for the sixth - year guard . Kenneth Faried was the third Nuggets ' starter in double figures with 18 points ( 8 - 10 FG , 2 - 6 FT ) and nine rebounds . With Dwight Howard sitting out on suspension after accumulating a flagrant foul during the 2014 - 15 postseason , it was James Harden and Terrence Jones who did everything they could to make up for his absence . Harden struggled from deep , hitting just two of his twelve attempts from the three - point line , but still finished with a team - high of 22 points . Harden came just short of being named the league MVP last season , so this was not the start he had in mind . Jones recorded 15 points ( 6 - 13 FG , 0 - 2 3Pt , 3 - 5 FT ) of his own , while pulling down six rebounds . The only other Rocket to reach double figures was Ty Lawson , who scored 12 points ( 3 - 10 FG , 2 - 3 3Pt , 4 - 6 FT ) in his Rockets debut . Lawson averaged 15 points and 10 assists with the Nuggets last season , so do n't be surprised to see his numbers rise over the next few games . The Nuggets will be at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday , while the Rockets will remain in Houston in a matchup with the Golden State Warriors on Friday .
