For many, the winner of the Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets series has the biggest odds of winning the Larry O’Brien trophy. Tonight is Game 1 in Denver.
Before Betting on Suns vs. Nuggets Game 1
The Suns lost the opening meeting of the series against the Clippers, but after that went on to win four contests in a row. Yes, LAC was without Kawhi, but that can’t diminish Phoenix’s success. Once Devin Booker hit full speed, everything was over for the team from LA.
Booker averaged 37.2 points in this series and was by far the best player among the Suns. Durant was the perfect backup, with him dropping 28.4 buckets but having 7.6 boards and 6.2 assists, which is respectable. He also has the respect of the officials, who favor the Suns a little bit.
Nuggets and Jokic are perfectly aware of their situation and have made peace with the fact that the bookmakers see them as underdogs in this matchup. Though, the back-to-back NBA MVP likes playing against the odds, and he will surely be the No.1 obstacle for the Suns in this series.
Jokic averaged 26.2 points, 12.4 boards and 9 assists over five games against the Timberwolves. What is essential for his team that Jamal Murray finally woke up and led the scoreboard with 27.2 buckets per night vs. Minnesota.
