Suns vs. Nuggets NBA Prediction:
These two teams recently played each other earlier this month in Denver. The Suns won that game 117-107 in overtime on March 5th. Phoenix has played Denver well of late. The Suns are 3-3 straight up in their last 6 against the Nuggets and 5-5 straight up in their last 10 against Denver. Phoenix has an average scoring margin of +2.9 points per game this season while Denver possesses an average scoring margin of +4.8 points per game this year. These two teams aren’t that far apart in terms of skill level, so I’ll take the road team and the points as the pick. I’m on Phoenix on the road on Wednesday night.
