Denver Nuggets Team News

At the beginning of the season, the Nuggets played a lot worse than expected and somewhat slower, but as the season progressed, they slightly increased their pace and the quality of their players and are currently in the best form with the Celtics in the entire league. In the last month, they were defeated only twice, namely by the Suns after overtime, and by the Mavs in the last seconds of the match. Throughout the season, they had major problems with injuries, which had a significant impact on the results, as well as the playing time of the leading players, which had to be balanced throughout the season. For this match against the Suns, a couple of main players are questionable, first of all, we are thinking of Murray and Gordon, who have been suffering minor injuries for a couple of games. The situation is similar with Jokic, who missed the match against the Blazers due to a lower back injury. However, the duel against the Suns is a derby and we expect all the above-mentioned players to be in the squad.

In the previous few games, the Nuggets managed to raise the level of their defense further, which will be one of the main factors for the best possible results in the playoffs. Until the very end, the Nuggets will fight for first place in the West and home-field advantage through the playoffs. They are currently on the same score as the Thunder, while they have one win more than the Timberwolves, so every game is like a mini-final for them.

Phoenix Suns Team News                              

The Suns proved to be one of the most difficult opponents for the Nuggets this season, and if they were always as motivated as they are when they play against the Nuggets, their score would be much better than it is now. They are currently tied for seventh place with a score of 42-30, which is only one position less than the place that leads directly to the playoffs. Recently, they have further improved the quality of their games, but they ended their streak of three victories with a loss against Spurs. That loss could end up costing them the playoffs. To make the problem bigger for the Suns, in this match, they could perform without Jusuf Nurkic, who is one of the best rebounders in the league, and in the previous two matches played great defense against Nikola Jokic.

Suns have great individual offensive quality, and with their creations in the game 1 on 1, they get a large number of easy points, especially thanks to the trio of Durant, Booker, and Beal. Also, they have big problems with the imbalance between the first five and the players coming from the bench, and they are the worst team in the league in terms of points from the bench. Also, a big problem for the Suns is the loss of the ball and the lack of a classic playmaker, which is quite noticeable.

Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

The Nuggets are the favorites in this match, but the Suns proved to be a very unpleasant opponent for them this season. Both teams are seriously potent offensively and we believe that this match will result in more points than the set limit, as was the case in the previous two matches. The problem for the Suns is certainly the injury to Nurkic, who is questionable for this match, which could open up a lot more space for Jokic in the attack.
