AMEDEUS' NBA WESTERN CONF GAME OF THE MONTH!
(NBA) Denver vs. Phoenix,
Point Spread: 2.50 | -109.00 Phoenix (Home)
Result: Loss
The Nuggets are coming into this game with a 13-6 record this season and they are currently sitting in 2nd place in the Western Conference. They have won their last 3 straight games with 1 road win in that span but they have been awful on the road this season. They have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 6 of their last 8 games on the road and they are only 4-6 on the road this season. The Nuggets have struggled more on the road going back to last season as well and they are not fully healthy for this game either. They are going up against a Suns team that is 11-7 this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games as they have won 7 of their last 8 games. They are coming off of a loss on the road against the Raptors in their last game but there is no doubt that they were looking ahead to this game. The Suns are back at home for this game where they have been playing much better recently as they have won their last 3 straight games there, winning all 3 games by 8+ points, and they are going to be hungry to bounce back here after their loss the other night. This is also a very important game for the Suns, not only because they are trying to climb the standings in the Western Conference after a rough start, but also because the Nuggets knocked the Suns out of the playoffs last year so this is a big revenge game for them at home where they lost their 4th game of that series. Bradley Beal is still out but the Suns have been playing very well recently with Durant and Booker in the lineup and there is no doubt they are going to get up for this game at home and win it against a struggling road team in the Nuggets. The Suns will cover the spread in this game.
