Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

The Denver Nuggets probably have to be thrilled that they’re not playing the Celtics today, and they should have the edge at home. However, as I’ve mentioned many times previously, I don’t like laying big numbers in meaningless preseason games due to the unknown. You never know who is going to play and how much. The Nuggets could easily sit Nikola Jokic after playing in both games. The Suns have also won 6 of their last 8 preseason games overall. I’ll take a stab with the 5.5 points with the Suns.
