After having a day off, the Denver Nuggets are returning to defend their home court against the Phoenix Suns in an attempt to win their twelfth straight home game. They’ve been on a roll as of late, winning 13 of their last 16, and 8 in their last 10. The Nuggets have maintained top seeding in the Western conference for a good bit now.
The Phoenix Suns on the other hand have been dealing with a breadth of injury issues with Chris Paul, Devin Booker, DeAndre Ayton, and Cameron Johnson among others all missing significant time. They have only won 2 of their last 10 games, and have slid down the standings slowly but surely.
