Suns vs Nuggets Preview

This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season, but the last meeting between the teams in March was an absolute barn burner. The Suns came out on top in that one 140-130. The Denver Nuggets are currently 2.5-point favorites in this one.

Phoenix Suns

It’s been tough for the Suns to get going with the inconsistencies of the likes of Chris Paul and Cameron Johnson being in the lineup, but it looks like the Suns are inching towards last year’s form. They have won three of their last four games and Devin Booker is putting together an MVP-caliber season.

The Suns have been doing it on both sides of the floor, ranking in the top-10 in both offensive and defensive rating. The Suns will be playing on their second consecutive Christmas, with last year’s game resulting in a loss to the champion Warriors.

Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets are another team that is starting to get hot, winning five of their last six games. Star center, Nikola Jokic, has been putting up video game numbers in the month of December, averaging about 29 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 9.7 assists. That includes a game against the lowly Charlotte Hornets where Jokic recorded a 40-point, 25 rebound triple-double.

The key to the Nuggets success thus far, has been on the offensive end. They rank 3rd in offensive rating, shooting the ball at an incredibly high rate from both the field and 3-point range. The Nuggets will look to get back in the win column on Christmas, after losing their last one to the Clippers in 2020.
