Will the Suns force a Game 7?

Denver needs just one more win to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The last time the Nuggets made such a deep run in the postseason was in the corona-induced “bubble” in 2020, but when they lost 4-1 to the eventual champions, the Los Angeles Lakers.

The team from the Valley will rely on the home advantage: So far, the host always prevailed in the series! In addition, the Suns already acted strong at home in the regular season.

Only the upcoming opponents, the Grizzlies and Warriors had a better home record in the West than the Arizona hoopsters. The Williams squad, on the other hand, is once again anxious about the deployment of Chris Paul, a veteran playmaker who has been sorely missing of late.

Denver Nuggets – statistics & current form

The Nuggets may have discovered an X-factor in their ranks. We’re talking about Bruce Brown, who came off the bench to deliver a whopping 25 points in the last game! He was responsible for almost 74 percent of Denver’s second-row points.

In addition, Nikola Jokic continues to act reliably on the side of head coach Michael Malone’s team. In the last meeting, the Serb, who received only a fine and no suspension for a minor blowout on the sidelines of the penultimate game with Suns owner Mat Ishbia, recorded his tenth career triple-double in the postseason.

Phoenix Suns – Denver Nuggets Tip

For the clash of the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets, the prediction and betting odds on more than 29.5 points by Nikola Jokic are offered. The two-time MVP acts very strong in the series even by his standards. For example, the “Joker” is averaging 35 points, nearly nine more than the first round of the postseason against Minnesota.

In addition, he already delivered at least 30 points in three of the five games against Phoenix in the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Just how strong he is on the road can also be seen by the fact that he has already recorded four triple-doubles in the postseason.

By comparison, all other players in the playoffs have a combined total of three! Now the undisputed leader of the guests will once again want to lead the way and take responsibility in the especially important game.
