Denver has made 13.2 threes per game in the postseason, and that 12-point difference alone should spur the Nuggets to yet another cover at home, and yet another cover against the Durant-led Suns. As great as Durant and Devin Booker are individually, their efficiency is not enough to counter the Nuggets’ shooting from deep. That is not enough, and that is reason to continue to doubt the Suns. That has fallen to 9.2 per game in the playoffs. Phoenix made only 11.3 threes per game in the final weeks of the regular season, when Durant had returned from injury. But it may not be that many more than seven. The only logic to that is the tried-and-true gambling axiom, “No team is as good or as bad as its previous game.”ĭenver should not be expected to win by 20 tonight, and the Suns will probably make more than seven 3s. Tonight’s spread of -4 in Denver’s favor is just half a point off from Saturday’s, though oddly enough, the Nuggets’ 18-point win on Saturday led to this spread being a half-point tighter, not wider. The Nuggets are 25-13-1 ATS at home this year, not to mention 35-4 straight up. This may be who they are.Īnd who Denver is, well that’s simple. The Suns are just 3-6 ATS in their last nine games, including 2-4 in the postseason. Those two games may have been a peek into the struggles that would eventually come for Phoenix. By then, the Nuggets were largely cruising into the playoffs, but they still focused enough to prevail as far as gamblers were concerned. They did, however, have Durant for two regular-season games against the Nuggets, two games in which Denver covered the spread. Of course, the Suns did not have Kevin Durant for most of the season. The Nuggets finished eight games ahead of the Suns in the regular season, and Denver’s point differential was 1.3 points per game better than Phoenix’s. Suns vs Nuggets Game 2 picks and predictions

Phoenix may need someone besides Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to step forward tonight to even this series before it heads back to the desert. What if the Denver Nuggets are just better than the Phoenix Suns? The rout in Game 1 at least requires that thought be considered, even if it is a bold one given the Suns’ star-studded roster.
