What to Know

After a three-game road stretch, the Nuggets are back home. They just played yesterday, but they'll host the Phoenix Suns at 10:00 p.m. ET on Monday at Ball Arena. The Nuggets have made a habit of turning their recent games into nail-biters, with a 2-1 record in their last three close contests.

On Sunday, the Nuggets needed overtime to defeat the Pelicans 132-129. The victory was even more impressive considering Denver was down by 17 with just 1:32 left in the third quarter. Nikola Jokic led the way with a triple-double: 27 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists. The Nuggets also displayed excellent team play, finishing with 34 assists — a mark they've hit in three straight games.

Meanwhile, the Suns, who were favored last Saturday, suffered a 133-125 loss to the Pistons, marking their second consecutive defeat. Kevin Durant had a stellar performance, scoring 43 points, adding six assists and five rebounds. Durant has been pivotal for Phoenix: the team is undefeated when he scores at least 20 points, but 11-13 otherwise.

Denver has been on a strong run, winning four of their last five games, improving their record to 15-11. Phoenix's loss dropped them to 14-13.

Looking ahead, the Nuggets are favored to win, with experts predicting a 5-point margin. Despite a 10-15 ATS record this season, the Nuggets have been tough at home. The Nuggets lost to the Suns 104-97 in their last meeting in March, so the question remains: Can they avenge that loss, or will history repeat itself? 

Odds

Denver is a 5-point favorite against Phoenix, according to the latest NBA odds.

The line on this game has shifted significantly since it opened, with the Nuggets initially favored by 8 points.

The over/under is set at 233.5 points.
