The Nuggets are the third seed in the Western Conference with a 40-22 record in 62 games.
They have gone 7-3 over their last ten.
Following their showdown with the Suns, the Nuggets will play the Oklahoma City Thunder (in Oklahoma) on Sunday afternoon.
Via Former Nuggets Coach George Karl: “I’m liking the upcoming back-to-back Nuggets v Thunder match up!
Both games will have a playoff feel. The coaches will want to win but also find things out to exploit the other team in the future!
I predict a split and a lot of learnings if there isn’t any BS load management.”
