Prediction

The Suns have been improving steadily lately, and since Kevin Durant’s return from injury, he has shown incredible dominance, averaging 28 points per game with an astonishing shooting efficiency. The Nuggets, on the other hand, have become heavily dependent on Nikola Jokic this season. Whenever Jokic rests, their performance plummets, dropping to the bottom or near the bottom of the league in several statistics. With defensive issues and trade rumors creating uncertainty, it seems unlikely they will be able to deliver a dominant victory in this matchup.

Pick: Suns +4.0 (bet365)
