Denver Nuggets
Point Spread Pick
PHX Suns +4.0(-108)

The Phoenix Suns will be playing the second game of a back-to-back situation when they host the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. Despite the back-to-back, there are reasons to think that Phoenix can at least keep this one close. Most importantly, neither Kevin Durant nor Bradley Beal played on Friday — that means 2 of the Suns’ 3 best players will be well rested. And there is no reason to have any concern about Devin Booker’s fitness or his form after going for 47 points in Friday’s victory over the Utah Jazz. Although the Suns are by no means dominant at home, they are 16-9 at the Footprint Center compared to 10-16 on the road. Phoenix hosted Denver earlier this season and prevailed 110-100 on Christmas Day.

Heading into Saturday the Nuggets own a 16-11 road record — good but nothing special. They have lost 3 of their last 5 on the road, with all 3 of those setbacks coming by at least 8 points. Russell Westbrook is out, while Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon are all listed as day-to-day. Give me the Suns plus the points.

Nuggets vs Suns prediction: Phoenix +4 (-108) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
