After losing to Portland, Mike Malone men won again. However, it wasn't easy, as they managed to beat New Orleans by three points. Moreover, they had to play overtime to beat their opponent.
Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray made the game. They each scored 27 points. They once again confirmed their status as leaders and proved that Denver is a completely different team without them.

Phoenix Suns
USACurrent form
Phoenix has somehow slowed down and hasn't looked its best in the last two games. The team from Arizona lost to Indiana (111:120) and Detroit (125:133). The opponents aren't the strongest, so these losses look strange.
The Suns' recent setbacks have dropped them to 11th place in the Western Conference standings, leaving them outside the playoffs once again.

1.80Tip and bets
Denver has looked unconvincing in recent games. The Nuggets barely beat New Orleans, and now they will face a more dangerous opponent. We believe that this time the Nuggets will have a much harder time. Most likely, they will not be able to win confidently. We suggest giving preference to the guests.
Our prediction is Phoenix with a handicap of (+5.5) points at 1.82
Bet on total
In the last matches, both teams looked bright in attack. Their matches were productive. Nothing should change in the face-to-face meeting.
Forecast - total over 228.5 points for 1.60
Bet on statistics
Jokic hasn't been pleasing us with his scoring performance lately. In 3 of his last 5 games, he hasn't scored more than 27 points. It quite possible that he won't be pleasing us with his spectacular play.
Prediction - Nikola Jokic: Total under 27.5 points at 1.78
