Denver Nuggets Team News
The Denver team did not manage to get a break in Phoenix or take advantage of Nikola Jokic two brutal games, so the series returns to Denver where both teams used their home court. Now the pressure is much greater on the Nuggets and they “have” to win and defend their home court.
In the third match, Jokic had an unreal triple-double with 30 points and 17 rebounds, and assists. In the fourth match, he scored 53 points and added 11 points. He played unreal games and the Nuggets were defeated both times. Simply, Murray and MPJ, as well as other Denver players, were not up to par. Murray especially failed in the G3, where although he scored 32 points, he took 29 shots and when the game broke, he missed.
The fifth game is one of the most important in the series, and the Nuggets must use the width and depth of the roster they have to win this game.
Phoenix Suns Team News
The Phoenix Suns are playing on the power of Booker and Durant, who played unreal games in both of the last matches and combined to score more than the rest of the team combined. Devin Booker numbers are especially impressive. His shooting percentages in the G3 and G4 are unreal. In the first game, he scored 47 points with 20/25 shooting from the field, while in the G4, he scored 36 points with 14/18 shooting. He also had double-digit assists both times. Durant scored 39 points in G3, and then 36 points. Fantastic duo!
A big problem for the Suns is certainly the absence of one of the main players, Chris Paul, who is injured and will most likely miss the entire series. However, the big problems for the Suns are the lack of width and the big imbalance between the first five and the guys who come off the bench. There are too many drops and “black holes” in the game. Booker and Durant always deliver, but against the Nuggets, it will be necessary to do much more, that is, for the other players to join in as well. First of all, we think of Payne, Lee, Craig, and other players from the bench. While Ayton is playing below his standards in this series.
In the G4, Landry Shamet appeared and scored 19 points, hitting five three-pointers, and was the x-factor of the game.

Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Nuggets are the team that is the favorite in this match, and we think that they will win, first of all because they have Nikola Jokic in their team, who is playing a great series, but also that the other players of the Nuggets will play at their level and that the victory will not be questioned.
