Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Suns have been one of the best cover teams in the league so getting them as a home dog has value. The problem is the Suns are banged up and have played like garbage over the last two weeks. The Nuggets have seen some of their best results on the road this season and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 games against the Suns. With the health advantage, I have to lean toward the Nuggets and the reasonable number. The Suns have to get healthier and find their form before I can get back to backing them confidently.
