Suns vs. Nuggets History
This Wednesday will mark the 192nd regular season meeting between the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets. Including playoffs, it will be the 211th all-time matchup between the two Western Conference rivals. The Suns lead the overall series with a 103-88 record over the Nuggets, and this season the series is tied 1-1. However, in Denver the Nuggets reign supreme, winning nearly 60% of their matchups with Phoenix at home. The Suns are 1-5 in their last 6 visits to Denver, but the lone win actually happened this season, as Phoenix beat the Nuggets 117-107 on the road. The defeat was only Denver’s 6th home loss of the season, meaning Phoenix will be hard pressed to repeat that feat.
Suns vs. Nuggets Game Predictions
I’m going with the home favorite Denver Nuggets over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Simply put, Denver is the better team. The Suns are led by a Big-3 any team would kill to have: Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, yet Phoenix is 9-games back from the Nuggets. Even this late in the season the Suns continue to work out the kinks in their team chemistry to find the winning combo. Denver on the other hand showed the world how good they really are after winning the 2023 NBA Finals, and to the chagrin of their competition, the Nuggets carried over their winning mentality into this season.
The Suns will put up a good fight, but the reigning champs don’t go down easy, especially on their home court. The Nuggets are 29-6 (82.9%) in Denver and have not lost at home since their 10-point loss to the Suns on March 5th. I’m confident the Nuggets will find redemption, and win the season series over the Phoenix Suns in turn. Odds are pending for this matchup but Denver is the presumed favorite.
