Before Betting on the Nuggets vs. Suns Game 3
Denver’s defense in Game 2 was mesmerizing, with the Nuggets limiting one of the best attacks in the league to only 87 points. Yes, the shots didn’t go in for the rivals, but partially, the Nuggets’ defense was responsible for that. They were pressuring the opponents all the time.
Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic took over when it mattered the most, and the Serbian guy scored 39 of Denver’s 97 points, with 16 boards and numerous forced fouls. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. had 15 points combined, but that didn’t matter due to Jokic’s strong performances.
The Suns were close until the start of the final 12 minutes when they lost the pace. Chris Paul’s groin injury is the main reason Monty Williams’ unit stopped, and there isn’t any news on his condition for the moment. Some fear that the veteran playmaker might have ended his season.
Phoenix made only seven threes in 27 shots, with Kevin Durant forcing downtown shots even in the moments when he didn’t need to. That’s why the former NBA MVP made just two in 12 attempts. Devin Booker had 35 points, yet he couldn’t handle the organizational duties well as Paul.
