LiontipsDenver vs Phoenix. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Nuggets are on a shaky form since the start of the playoffs, they had a pretty turbulent series against Portland. It was going back and forth, but eventually Michael Malone's side became the winner of the series.
It was clear that Denver's form is far from perfect, only Nikola Jokic tried to push his team forward, but it is very hard to do without the support from other players, especially against Phoenix.
Nuggets completely failed in the second round, they lost three matches in a row. Even in a home match they couldn't put up a good offensive performance (102:116).
Suns are on a fantastic season. They were fighting for the first spot in the Western Conference, they have some great players on the roster and now team is really close to the third round of playoffs.
We should remind that Phoenix easily beat LeBron James and his partners. Monty Williams' lads left no chance to Lakers, though honestly Lakers are not that good during this season.
Denver became the next opponent for the Suns, but Nuggets failed to put a resistance. Devin Booker and Chris Paul dominated the Nuggets in all three games, so now Phoenix has a chance to record a win in the series, if they will secure a victory in the next match.

Tip and bets
Denver is having a hard time against an offensive teams, at least in the playoffs. Head coach should've noticed that after the series against Portland. Monty Williams' lads are on their way to the final and now it is very hard to beat them. In our opinion, Nuggets won't be able to record even one victory against the Suns, so we will bet on Phoenix.
Our prediction - Phoenix Suns to win (Including OT)
In the last match we saw that Nuggets are left almost without energy. Their offense is very bad now, plus Suns are now playing more accurate. We think that fourth match of the series will not be high-scoring.
