Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks

A clash of titans will take place at Ball Arena on Monday between Nikola Jokic and Evin Durant when the Suns and Nuggets meet in the first of a two-game series. Durant is coming off a season-high 43 points in Arizona where he made all 11 free throws he had but it was of little use as the Suns would end up losing 125-133 to the Pistons despite the Suns being 5.5-point favorites even without Booker.

Booker will be out with a groin injury for Monday's game. It has been difficult for the Suns to get on the court together normally due to injuries to Durant, Booker and Beal. However, it could be argued that the Suns will have a bit of an advantage as the Nuggets will be playing on consecutive nights after a tough game against the Pelicans in New Orleans that they won but went into overtime.

Jokic again recorded a triple double, plus he made a steal and a block making him the NBA's player of the moment. Impressively, the Serbian would be averaging a triple double per game at this point in the season if he weren't averaging 9.8 assists.

Our Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

Even after Sunday's overtime against Pelicans, the Nuggets' advantage over the Suns for Monday's game remains at 6.5 points as set by the bookies. The Suns attempted just 29 three-pointers in their last loss to the Pistons, a category in which Booker usually contributes, although he is not there due to absence. The Suns have a tough schedule at the end of 2024, and on the road this season they have a 5-7 record. In the betting, the Nuggets remain the fifth favorites to win the NBA. Our prediction for Nuggets vs Suns is: Nuggets -5.5.
