The Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Nuggets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The under is 5-2 in Suns last 7 games following a ATS loss. The under is 4-0 in Nuggets last 4 overall. The Suns are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Denver and 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

The Phoenix Suns are piling up the losses, they're banged up, and they're just not a team I'm eager to back against quality competition. The Denver Nuggets are shooting lights out of the gym over the last week, and they're one of the best home teams in the league, where they win by an average of 9.7 points. The Suns just aren't in good enough shape to get the job done here given their injury situation. Give me the Nuggets at home and the reasonable chalk.
