Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets have been trending in the right direction and won three of their last four outings, including two in a row over the Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers. Sunday’s victory over Portland saw Nikola Jokic record another triple-double.
The star big man has been carrying Denver on both ends of the court amid their recent turnaround in form.
The Suns snapped their five-game losing streak with a 120-98 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, thanks to Devin Booker’s 25-point performance. The team had been on a four-game winning run before that skid, so while their 5-5 record in their last 10 doesn’t look that bad, their recent defensive play remains a concern.

While the Suns could complicate things, they’ll be too depleted to stand a chance here. The absence of Mark Williams down low is a major blow, as he’s the only player with enough defensive skills to slow down Jokic. Additionally, the potential absence of players like Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale could further weaken the rotation, particularly in terms of perimeter shooting.
Even on the road, the Nuggets hold a clear advantage in personnel availability, recent form, star power, and season-long numbers. Expect Denver to secure an away victory, as the Suns’ defence (14th in Defensive Rating after the All-Star break) is unlikely to slow them down.
Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Nikola Jokic to record over 48.5 points + rebounds + assists
Jokic is a strong bet to fill the stat sheet solely based on how involved he is on offence for the Nuggets.
The numbers back him up, as the star centre is averaging a triple-double since the All-Star break with 26.4 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 10.3 assists per game in his last 17 appearances.
With those numbers, Jokic could easily get another triple-double in a favourable matchup against the Suns’ depleted frontcourt. He’s recorded six triple-doubles over his last eight outings.
Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 228.5 points + Devin Booker over 23.5 points + Jamal Murray over 22.5 point
Our three-leg parlay points toward a high-scoring game, as the Nuggets have a clear offensive advantage, which should force Phoenix to play at a fast pace just to keep up. Their previous head-to-head meeting produced 242 total points, supporting that outlook.
We’re pairing that with two elite scoring guards making an impact. Jamal Murray is coming off a 22-point performance against Portland and has been on a roll of late, with 22 or more points in four of his last six appearances. The Canadian floor general is averaging 24.1 points per game since the beginning of March.
Jamal Murray:
“If we play with this kind of energy, whether we miss or make shots, we have a chance to beat everybody that’s in front of us.”

As for Booker, he scored 25 in Sunday’s win over Toronto and has been deadly lately, averaging 29.8 points per game while shooting 45.6% from the floor in his last 10 outings. Booker will have to carry the Suns offensively if they’re to stay competitive.

Phoenix Suns Team News
The Suns have several depth concerns and could be depleted on the wing. O’Neale, Allen, and Haywood Highsmith are all questionable due to knee injuries, limiting the team’s options at small forward while also potentially removing two elite three-point shooters in Allen and O’Neale.
Dillon Brooks, one of Phoenix’s best players this season, is considered doubtful while recovering from a hand injury. He’s expected to return to the hardwood in the coming days, but there’s a chance this game will come too soon for him. Williams (foot) is also out but could return before the weekend.
Denver Nuggets Team News
The Nuggets haven’t reported any absences ahead of Tuesday’s game and will be able to send their best unit. Cameron Johnson, Aaron Gordon, and Jamal Murray have all moved past their recent injury concerns, meaning Denver should be able to field their strongest starting lineup.
