Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

You can make a case for the Suns and the points with the way they’re playing, but they’re also seeing their injury report get longer by the day. The Nuggets have major injuries of their own, but they’re also still led by the best player on the planet. If anything, oddsmakers are being soft with the Nuggets and giving out these small numbers. The Nuggets are still a profitable 11-7 ATS on the year, and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 games against the Suns. The Suns aren’t a deep team as it is, and playing on the end of a back-to-back with these injuries won’t help them here. I’ll lay the points with the Nuggets.
