Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!There is no series price yet for the entire series, however I have found a book giving Denver a light edge at home in Game 1. The Nuggets have opened as 3 point favorites.
The Suns are +3 on the spread and the money line is +123 for Phoenix and -150 for the Nuggets in Game 1 of the second round series.
Suns/Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets are the first place team in the Western Conference with a 53-29 regular season record. They are led by two time MVP Nikola Jokic and young superstar Jamal Murray.
The Phoenix Suns ended the regular season in 4th place with a 45-37 record in the regular season. They are led by the dynamic duo of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Chris Paul. You might have heard of them.
Head To Head
These teams have played 4 times in the regular season, both teams have won two of those games. A dead even split, 2-2.
Denver took the first two games, one of which was the overtime thriller on Christmas night, 128-125. The next game was about two weeks later, and again, the Nuggets beat the Suns. This time to the tune of 126-97.
The Suns would bounce back and get healthy, and take the next two matchups late in the season. Which include a 100-93 victory on March 31st. A week later they would meet again on April 6th, Suns would win that one 119-115.
