Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Kennedy Kechula in NBA Predictions
The streaking Denver Nuggets will be at home to welcome the Phoenix Suns for their next NBA regular season assignment. They come to this duel sitting third in the Western Conference, seven games clear of the sixth-placed Suns. The Nuggets are in red-hot form and have won their last six matches. Only the Celtics, who possess the best record in the league, have won more consecutive games. Mike Malone’s men are coming off a 124-114 victory over the Lakers in LA. This win took their record to 42-19, tied with second-placed OKC and half a game from top spot in the West. Having won three straight against the Suns, Denver will be confident of a win here. The Nuggets won the first matchup of the season with Phoenix 119-111 back in December. Another win here will see them secure the regular season series with a game to spare. Vlatko Cancar remains sidelined and is the only absentee for the Nuggets who are averaging 114.5 points.
The Suns are in an injury crisis and could be without five players here. Devin Booker has been ruled out with an ankle issue and joins Josh Okogie, Nassir Little, and Damion Lee on the sidelines. Jusuf Nurkic could miss this game too as he has been placed as ‘Questionable’ due to a calf problem. The injuries place the struggling Suns in an even more precarious position. Frank Vogel’s men have won just twice in their last six outings and are close to dropping into the play-in places. They have lost their last two matches with the latest being a 118-110 setback at home to the Thunder. The Suns are averaging 117.1 points a night.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
Our prediction for the Denver Nuggets v the Phoenix Suns is for the match to see over 223.5 points scored. The first meeting of the season was a closely fought duel and this match could fall along the same lines. Both the Suns and Nuggets aren’t the most dominant offensive teams in the league and this could mean more emphasis on defence. We therefore expect a decent scoring match but not an overly excessive scoring outcome.
