The West is more balanced than it has been for a long time and so in our Nuggets vs. Suns tip on paper we see the duel 1 vs. 8, but this matter is still not clear. Because Phoenix is actually only nine wins behind Denver.
The Nuggets are also only one win ahead of the second-placed Thunder and must therefore continue to secure their top seed. The Suns, on the other hand, are only one win behind in 6th placewhich would mean direct playoff qualification – also a big goal.
Table of contents
Accordingly, things are likely to get hot and no team will spare any star in the final spurt of the season. That’s one of the positive points of this close race. We don’t expect a blowout success for the reasons mentioned.
Our prediction for Denver vs. Phoenix is a close duel in which the top stars in a better mood could be decisive. We expect a 25+ point performance from both Jokic and Devin Booker, who has been in great form recently.
Denver Nuggets – Phoenix Suns odds | 3 top tips
Betting odds as of March 27, 2024, 9:44 a.m
The first tip-off of this exciting Western Conference duel is on Thursday night at 3:00 a.m. in Denver. This week and on the Easter weekend, the betting base once again has many exciting NBA tips in its program – after all, it’s entering the particularly hot phase.
Denver Nuggets – Statistics & Current Form
The Nuggets want the top seed in the Western Conference and they are in really good shape at the perfect moment. Nine wins from the last ten games are proof of this and they have now played six of their last ten games at home, which plays into their hands.
Of course, they shouldn’t lose these home games – even if the opponent is the Phoenix Suns. Despite being nine wins behind, they should not be underestimated with players like Durant, Booker and Beal in their ranks.
Nuggets with better team chemistry
In terms of individual players, the Suns should even be considered the favorites, but they have not yet consistently brought their horsepower to the table. The nuggets are much more well-rehearsed and put together more homogeneously. Everyone knows their job, which can be extremely important, especially for the playoffs.
In the home win against the Grizzlies on Monday alone, seven players scored in double figures, which is a top number. For comparison: In the last Suns game in San Antonio, only three players scored in double figures, which indicates a clear imbalance.
Tips on Jokic or Booker possible
Nikola Jokic has also been in good form recently. In his last three games, Jokic scored 35, 30 and 29 points, which put him above his season average of 26.1 points. Betting on over 27.5 points from him is therefore a first tip recommendation.
On the other hand, we can also say the same about Devin Booker, who scored 30, 32 and 36 points in his last three games and was even higher than his season average of 27.4. Since Booker is only expected to score 25.5 points, the odds of over 25.5 points from Booker are even more playable for Nuggets vs. Suns.
Key Players:
PG: Reggie Jackson
SG: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
SF: Christian Braun
PF: Michael Porter Jr.
C: Nikola Jokic

Phoenix Suns – Statistics & Current Form
Phoenix, we have a problem. The Suns are still only in 8th place, which means they would have to go into a dangerous play-in tournament. However, 6th place is only one win away and the direct duels against competitors like Kings or Pelicans will follow this season.
Still, this season isn’t going as well as the front office hoped after the signings of Beal or Gordon. The lack of depth is becoming a factor in more and more games, as the scoring against Spurs recently demonstrated.
Support for the stars is missing
Durant and Booker scored 65 points together, but the remaining seven players only scored 37 points, just one more than Booker alone scored. This is not a good balance and therefore promptly went wrong.
So it will mainly depend on Durant and Booker again on Wednesday night, which we can use to make bets on these two. We’ve already mentioned Booker’s 32.7 points average in his last three games and they make tips on Booker the most interesting.
But bets on Durant are also possible, even if he hasn’t broken the 30 point mark as often recently.
Tips on Suns with handicap possible
In addition, the Suns were given a handicap of +7.5 points for this game, which we consider to be a lot. After all, they also won four of their last six games and the defeat against Spurs was very narrow by two points.
If we look at the statistics, then the Suns even have the better +/- ratio compared to the Nuggets, since they score 2.3 more points per game but only allow 1.5 more points. For Denver against Phoenix, a tip on the Suns +7.5 is definitely a playable betting option.
Key Players:
PG: Devin Booker
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Grayson Allen
PF: Kevin Durant
C: Jusuf Nurkic

Denver Nuggets – Phoenix Suns Direct comparison / H2H balance
The direct comparison of these two teams is very even. Both teams have won five of the last ten duels and So far this season the balance is even at 1:1. Interestingly, the away team was able to win the game.
It remains to be seen whether the Suns really have a sniff of a win, but they should be able to create a close game in any case. Their individual players are simply too good for that. We wouldn’t be surprised if this game wasn’t over even with two minutes to go.
For Denver vs. Phoenix, the odds on Suns +7.5 are a good option in addition to the already mentioned player bets on Booker or Jokic. Overall, we also see Devin Booker as the top scorer in this game, which means this option is also playable.
Stat highlights for Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns
Betting base forecast & Denver Nuggets – Phoenix Suns tip
Statistically speaking, we absolutely have a duel on equal terms here. The fact that the Nuggets are so far ahead of the Suns in the table is thanks to the better complementary players who have also been playing together for a long time.
However, Phoenix can do anything in a single game, which takes win bets on Denver out of the game a bit. For Nuggets vs. Suns, a tip on over 25.5 points from Devin Booker is, in our opinion, the best betting alternative.
Key-Facts – Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns Tipp
- The Nuggets have won 9 of their last 10 games
- Phoenix allows 1.5 more points per game than Denver
- With 29.3, Denver has the third-most assists per game in the NBA
An additional alternative in this matchup is over-point picks. The estimated 226.5 seems quite low considering that both teams together average 231.9 points.
