Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Tips:

The Denver Nuggets, of course, are ranked among the top teams. That’s right, as the team currently sits in fifth place in the Western Conference. Of course, Denver’s success is due to Jokic, who is the team’s undisputed leader. At the moment he has a wrist problem, as a result of which he missed the last game against the Chicago Bulls (108-114). Without a doubt, Jokic’s absence makes the Nuggets many times weaker. As a matter of fact, the Denver Nuggets have already lost three games in a row. 

The Phoenix Suns simply can’t be stopped now. In addition, the visitors look less threatening without Jokic. In our opinion, the Suns will pick up their 12th straight win. 

Our first prediction and bet are the handicap (-6.5) for the Phoenix Suns with the odds of 1.81 with the VBet bookmaker.

We think, that without Jokic the Nuggets won’t score enough to break their individual total. 

Our second prediction and bet are Nuggets’ individual points under 104.5 with the odds of 1.85 with the Vbet bookmaker.
