Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Prediction: No Win for Home Team

Prediction for the NBA Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets match which will take place on May 6th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Phoenix Suns

Monty Williams' team took a much more serious approach to the second game, improving defense. It didn't help to win anyway – 87:97. Although in many ways, the reason for the failure in the second case was the injury of Chris Paul, who could not finish the match, and therefore Phoenix had to change the game plan right along its course. Paul will miss this series's third, fourth, and fifth matches, making it very difficult for Phoenix to reach the next round.

Denver Nuggets

In the series' opening games, the Nuggets showed that they could outplay Phoenix due to high-quality work in attack and the effectiveness of the defense. Having confidently turned out to be stronger in the first game, Michael Malone's team responded to Monty Williams and the Suns' defensive decisions in the second game. Although they scored less than 100 points, they conceded only 87.

In the Denver lineup, following the results of the two semifinal matches, Nikola Jokic made a double-double of points and rebounds in both meetings – 24 + 19 and 39 + 16. And also, Jamal Murray, who unsuccessfully played the second match, but in the first in many ways, became a crucial aspect in the victory, scoring 34 points.

Expert Betting Tips

The absence of Chris Paul is a big problem for Phoenix. On the other hand, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, who had a tremendous first-round series against the Clippers but could be better against Denver, get the extra motivation to prove themselves. In the third match of the series with the Nuggets and the crucial game of the season for Phoenix, Booker, and Durant can leave their team in the game. We bet on the Suns, considering that Denver is traditionally a purely home team.
