The Denver Nuggets (45-25) enter into this game against the high flying Phoenix Suns(38-31) capable of matching their opponents offensive exploits point for point. The difference maker comes on defense, where they Nuggets allow 100.3 PPG, compared to the Suns 106.4 PPG, which gives us a lot of value backing the road dog in my humble opinion.

The Nuggets are playing their best basketball of the season, as they go for their 6th straight win vs a inconsistent Suns side, that despite of 4 straight wins , lost 6 straight earlier this month, and has already lost 13 home games this season.


The Suns are 3-15 ATS against top tier shooting teams ,making 46%+ of their shots this season, losing SU by an average of 7.7 PPG. Suns are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning SU Record.

Projected score: Denver 121 Phoenix 116
