Nuggets vs. Suns Predictions
In our Nuggets vs. Suns predictions for Game 1, we noted how the Nuggets were a deeper team with more cohesiveness. That was on full display as Denver took the first game of this series by a score of 125-107.
There’s a chance the Suns fight back in this spot, and we should have a much closer contest. Because of that, we’ll look toward the total as our best bet for the night.
The Nuggets are 4-0-1 to the over in its last five games overall. The Suns are 7-1-1 to the over in their last nine overall.
The total for Game 1 was set at 227, which is the same over/under as this Game 2 contest. The teams combined for 232 total points, and that was despite a lackluster performance from Phoenix, which only produced 107 points. That was the lowest Suns’ scoring output in the playoffs so far.
Expect the Nuggets to keep doing their thing and Phoenix to step up on offense in Game 2. That should be enough to go over the total once again.
The Pick: Over 227 | -110 at PointsBet
