The Denver Nuggets head to Phoenix on Tuesday night with momentum and playoff positioning on the line. Denver, sitting at 44‑28, is locked in a tight race for a top‑four seed in the Western Conference, tied with the Rockets and Timberwolves.
Their offense has been electric, ranking first in points scored and three‑point percentage, and Jamal Murray’s recent scoring surge has added another layer of firepower. Phoenix, meanwhile, is 40‑32 and clinging to seventh place.
The Suns snapped a five‑game skid with a win over Toronto, but questions remain about their consistency. Devin Booker and Jalen Green form a potent scoring duo, yet the Suns’ defense has faltered against elite offenses. With Denver leading the season series 2‑0 and boasting a 5‑1 SU record in their last six against Phoenix, this matchup sets up as a critical test for both teams.
Best Bet for Nuggets vs. Suns
Best Bet: Denver Nuggets -5.5 (-110) at BetMGM Sportsbook
Denver’s offensive efficiency is simply overwhelming right now. They lead the league in scoring (120.8 points per game) and three‑point shooting (39.4%), while Phoenix has struggled to keep opponents under control, allowing 111.6 points per game.
The Nuggets are 5‑1 SU in their last six against the Suns and 4‑1 ATS in their last five trips to Phoenix, showing they can cover on the road. Phoenix has gone 1‑5 SU in its last six overall, and while they’ve been decent ATS lately (6‑3 in their last nine), their inability to string together wins makes them a risky play.
Denver’s balance of Murray’s perimeter scoring and Jokic’s playmaking should stretch Phoenix’s defense thin. The Suns’ recent trend of going UNDER at home (six of their last eight) suggests they may struggle to keep pace offensively. Denver’s consistency, combined with Phoenix’s injuries and lack of rhythm, makes Nuggets -5.5 the strongest bet.
This safer parlay leans on Denver’s offensive leaders. Murray has been on a tear in March, averaging over 24 points, while Jokic’s passing ensures Denver’s shooters get clean looks. Pairing those with a Nuggets win ties the legs together: Denver’s stars dominate, and the team secures the victory.
This longshot parlay banks on Phoenix’s stars keeping the game competitive. Booker and Green have been consistent scorers, and if they both hit their overs, the pace should push the total past 234.5. It’s a correlated play: Phoenix’s offense fires, Denver responds, and the game turns into a shootout.
