Tip and bets
Denver is missing Jamal Murray, who was very important player on the court and team failed to find a replacement. Michael Malone tried to find a way to contain Suns' attacks, but couldn't do that in the first game. Phoenix is pressing too hard and is trying to gain an advantage since the first minutes. We think that Monty Williams' players will show their class again and record another win.
