  • 7:30pm cst: Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets (-4)

We have made it to Round 2 in the Western Conference as the Phoenix Suns visit the Denver Nuggets. When these two faced off this season neither team had a complete or healthy roster so there is no real read on how this series may go. I like Denver and its depth against the Suns two stars. The minutes definitely added up for Booker and Durant against the Clippers. The Suns also struggled against the Clippers without its two superstars. The lack of depth for the Suns is eventually going to catch up to them especially against a team the caliber of Denver. Jamal Murray is healthy and looks to be in prime form who will be going against an old, slow Chris Paul. Denver should be able to take the first win here and that is the way I am going.

Pick: Nuggets (-4)

Nikola Jokic Points, Rebounds & Assists Over 47.5 (-135)

Aaron Gordan Points Over 13.5 (-140)

***The other games will be posted once more lineup information is available.
