Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Regular Season Record: 20-21
Since Devin Booker’s injury in mid-December, things have gone from bad to worse for the Suns, who have not only fallen out of the top spots in the Western Conference but now also possess a negative record after winning just one of their last 11 games.
In addition to Booker’s absence, there is also the absence of Chris Paul, who has missed the team’s last two games due to hip discomfort, something that will clearly affect an offense that has had its share of problems recently, averaging a miserable 93.8 points scored in its last five games..
Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Season record: 27-13
Things have been different for the Nuggets, who come into this game sharing the top spot in the West with the Grizzlies and have had a great performance in recent weeks, winning eight of their previous ten games, including the last three.
The third of these victories came against the Los Angeles Lakers last Monday, in a game in which they imposed themselves from the beginning to end up winning by a score of 109-122, with Jamal Murray being the team’s top scorer with 34 points, while Nikola Jokić recorded a triple-double of 14 points, 16 assists and 11 rebounds.
While they have had their problems defensively, allowing an average of 113.7 points allowed per game, the Nuggets have been able to counteract all of that thanks to an offense that is the fifth best in the league, with an average of 116.8 points scored per game and a 50.8% shooting percentage from the field..
JefeBet Prediction
The Suns are in a terrible moment, and this does not seem to be the best opportunity for them to get back on track, as they will not only be visitors, condition in which they have left a poor 6-14 record, but they will also be arriving with no days of rest in between after playing yesterday..
And that fatigue will surely be taken advantage of by a Nuggets team that although they are not the best in the league in defense, they are a tough and very competitive team, so they should not have many problems to keep limited an offense that has looked very bad recently.
The Suns’ defense is not doing things greatly either, so we expect a rested Nuggets, who are almost unbeatable at home, to control the actions from start to finish and take a comfortable victory from this match.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Spread.
