They went out on the road to beat New Orleans 104-91, and followed that up with a 127-120 victory in Phoenix.
Denver failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 118-110 to Portland, but they have not been beaten since.

Houston Rockets 7-3 After Consecutive Losses
Houston come into this matchup having lost back-to-back games, dropping them to 7-3.
The Rockets made a flying start to the season as they reeled off five consecutive victories, including a 114-110 win in San Antonio.
That run was halted by a 116-111 loss in Dallas, but they issued a strong response as they knocked off two contenders at home.
Houston blew out Oklahoma City, 119-98, and then held Boston to under 100 points as they won the game, 109-93.
The Rockets have not won since though, following up a 117-107 loss to Minnesota with a 102-99 defeat in Phoenix.
Verdict
Denver arrive in better form, but that injury report is a massive red flag with so many notable names appearing on it.
Houston have been solid at home despite the loss to Minnesota, and they have made a good start to this campaign, so we are backing the Rockets in this one.
