The Nuggets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 Friday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. The Suns are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games and 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall. The over is 37-18-3 in Nuggets last 58 overall. The under is 10-4 in Suns last 14 overall. The over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in Phoenix and 11-5 in the last 16 meetings.

The Denver Nuggets continue to be hit or miss this season and a lot of it has to do with a struggling defense. The Phoenix Suns have had their issues these last couple of weeks as well, but they're showing signs of getting back on track and they're still one of the more profitable teams in the league dating back to the NBA bubble. The Suns also beat the Nuggets a couple weeks ago. Give me the Suns at home in this toss up contest.
