Suns at Nuggets picks and predictions
Prediction
Nuggets 123, Suns 108
Moneyline
The Suns won on the road Tuesday, but are 7-14 on the road this season and have lost 5 of their last 7 road games.
The Nuggets are 3-0 on their current homestand. They are 17-3 at home and have won 11 straight at Ball Arena.
However, you should not be wagering 9 times what you can win. PASS on the moneyline.
Against the spread
Five of the Suns’ last 9 losses have been by at least 13 points while the Nuggets have won 3 straight games by at least 13 points and 5 of their last 8 wins have been by at least that much.
With the Suns extremely shorthanded and coming off a game Tuesday night, BET NUGGETS -13.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The Nuggets have had 7 straight games and 8 of their last 9 have more than 227 total points. They have scored at least 120 points themselves in 6 of their last 7 games and in 8 of their last 10.
Before the Suns’ 125-point outburst on Tuesday, they had averaged 95.5 over their six-game losing streak.
Denver’s opponents have scored 108 or more in 6 of their last 7 games.
BET OVER 227.5 (-110).
