NBA - 713 Denver Nuggets @ 714 Phoenix Suns
Projected Line: Denver by 8 points
Denver is a complete nightmare matchup for the Suns. Phoenix has absolutely no bench and their starting unit has very poor athleticism, especially on the frontcourt. This was why they got so pounded down low on their last game in Utah, while they are also just #22 in the league in defensive rebounding, while allowing 65% FG at the rim. These struggles will be completely exposed by the Nuggets tonight.
Denver is completely pounding their opponents down low. After a poor start of the season, Denver has scored 14, 16, 21 and 20 fast break points and 56, 44, 46 and 66 points in the paint over their last four games! Kenneth Faried has been amazing and Denver is the best offensive rebound team in the league right now. Phoenix could only be competitive on this game if they were efficient on offense, but that won't happen. The Suns have a poor ball movement and their offense relies on Goran Dragic and his pick and roll plays, but Denver now with Andre Iguodala is an excellent team in defending this kind of play by allowing just 0.56 PPP (#2 on the league).
The Nuggets should be able to pound the Suns on offense tonight, while they should also cause problems to Phoenix's offense, therefore I expect an easy win for Denver and therefore, I'll be taking them in here.
