With Kevin Durant back in the fold, the Suns have a potentially historical offense that needs its limits tested. The hobbled Nuggets shouldn't provide a ton of resistance, and our NBA picks see Phoenix putting a little extra something on tonight's win.
After sustaining a hamstring injury that Denver may opt to play it safe with, Jokic is in danger of losing the MVP race and losing out on the opportunity to join the company of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Larry Bird as the only players in NBA history to three-peat the MVP award.
And while last night was a perfect demonstration of what the Nuggets are incapable of in his absence, there is belief that Denver will be even more shorthanded in this second leg of a road back-to-back. With the Nuggets three games ahead of the Grizzlies , Denver would have to go 2-4 while Memphis goes 6-0 to close the season to lose their grip on the West's top seed.
Lots of talk in the Nuggets locker room about who’s actually traveling to Phoenix tonight for tomorrow’s back-to-back. Wouldn’t be surprised if 3-4 starters don’t play.If anything, this could serve as a weirdly pivotal opportunity for Michael Malone to use this game as a way to refine the end of his playoff rotation — an issue that has stymied the Nuggets in past postseason runs.
