Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction 3-27-24 Picks

The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Ball Arena. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Suns vs Nuggets prediction.

Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns have been in fine form as they’ve won seven of their last 11 games overall. The Suns will be eager to bounce back in this one after having their three-game win streak halted by the Spurs in a 104-102 road loss on Monday. Devin Booker led the team with 36 points, six rebounds and four assists on 14 of 28 shooting, Kevin Durant added 29 points with eight rebounds and six assists. Royce O’Neale chipped in with 12 points off the bench, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Suns shot 50 percent from the field and 10 of 28 from the 3-point line. The Suns worked their way back from an 11-point deficit to take the lead with 51.1 seconds left on the clock. The Suns then got burned in the next possession, where the Spurs’ Jeremy Sochan drained the game-winning 3-pointer to snap the Suns’ three-game win streak.

Denver Nuggets

Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets have been in red-hot form as they’ve won 15 of their last 17 games overall and they will be eager to build on their current four-game win streak after blowing past the Grizzlies in a 128-103 home win on Monday. Nikola Jokic led the team with 29 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, Christian Braun added 17 points on eight of 10 shooting while Reggie Jackson chipped in with 15 points and eight assists. As a team, the Nuggets shot 53 percent from the field and 15 of 32 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the depleted Grizzlies from the start and never looked in danger after dominating the first half by 69-44.

Suns vs Nuggets prediction

The Suns are still missing Bradley Beal, and they have Jusuf Nurkic listed as questionable, while the Nuggets are still missing Zeke Nnaji, and they have Jamal Murray listed as questionable. The Suns were on a nice run before they fell to the lowly Spurs in a disappointing loss on Monday. The Nuggets have been one of the hottest teams in the league, as they’ve lost just two of their last 17 games overall. The Nuggets are a little banged up for this one, but they are still deserved favorites here, and I think the line is reasonable, so I’m sticking with the Nuggets at home.
