For the second time this season, the Nuggets will host the Phoenix Suns at Pepsi Center.
Phoenix (8-7) enters Sunday’s game on a bit of a high after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak. Despite their struggles in recent weeks, the Suns are still one of the more balanced teams in the NBA, with both their offensive (ninth) and defensive rating (12th) in the top half of the league. Phoenix has missed Ricky Rubio and Aron Baynes in several games this week, as both veterans have been welcome additions on both ends of the floor.
