Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns 10.05.2023
Denver Nuggets will look to edge ahead in this series when they welcome Phoenix back in town for game 6 this Wednesday. After taking a commanding 2-0 lead, they lost both games in Phoenix, despite running them close both times. Their defence has completely failed to contain the Suns’ dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker who have basically torched them in every game of this series so far. Coach Malone has his work cut out in dealing with that conundrum as the series returns back home
The Suns had their backs against the wall after dropping the opening two games but they responded in style to even the series and now have a chance to steal homecourt should they pick up the win here. Devin Booker continued his tremendous postseason performances, scoring 47 and 37 points at home as the Suns held to secure the wins. They will continue relying on him and Durant to lead from the front as they have done thus far.
Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic has dominated the Suns too as they seem to have no answers for him. He had a triple-double in game 3 and dropped 53 points in game 4. With the Suns expected to key in on him defensively, we expect him to create opportunities for his teammates here. We are therefore backing him to get at least 10 assists here
Tip: Jokic Over 9.5 Assists
