Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

The Nuggets are comfortably the better team, and Denver is the worst spot in the league to play on the end of a back-to-back. The Suns took a major step back roster wise this season, and they’re coming off a blowout loss to the Clippers. However, this is a huge line for this early in the season, and the Nuggets have failed to cover 4 of their last 5 games as a double-digit favorite. The underdog has covered 5 of the last 8 games between the Nuggets and Suns. I’ll take a stab with the points, but it’s not my favorite game on the card.
