Suns at Nuggets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Nuggets 119, Suns 114
Money line (ML)
The NUGGETS (+135) will have a little pride in Game 4, forcing the Suns (-160) back to the Valley of the Sun to try and close it out in Game 5.
Denver won two of three games against Phoenix in the regular season, and the lone loss was by three points. Denver is much better than they have shown in the first three games of this series.

Against the spread (ATS)
NUGGETS +3.5 (-110) is an even better play at home catching nearly two buckets, but they won’t need the points. They’re going to win this one behind MVP Nikola Jokic, forcing a Game 5 back in Phoenix.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 222.5 (-110) hasn’t hit since Game 1, but it will come through in Game 4. The Over has cashed in 10 of the past 11 as a road favorite for the Suns, while going 10-3 in the past 13 overall away from home.
The Over is 6-2 in Denver’s past eight as an underdog, and 4-1 in the past five home games.
