The Denver Nuggets are in the middle of a five games in seven nights stretch and it appeared that the fatigue finally caught up to them. They fell behind early to the Phoenix Suns and were unable to climb all the way back late in what turns out to be an ugly loss against the worst team in the Western Conference. DeAndre Ayton and Kelly Oubre Jr had big performances to offset the efforts of Nikola Jokic and Malik Beasley. On the positive side for Denver, Will Barton made his return to the court after missing thirty-eight games but it was spoiled by the Suns pulling off the shocker and winning this one 102-93.
