The Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns will duel things out from Phoenix, Arizona, for Game 4 tonight. This series has delivered thus far, and tonight’s game will go a long way in deciding who wins this series. Games 1 and 2 went to Denver, but the Suns responded in a big way on Friday night and took Game 3 on their home floor.

Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets Game 4 Prediction
The stars shine bright as Devin Booker and Kevin Durant combined for 79 points in the winning act. If the Suns are going to win this series, they will need a lot more of what we saw on Friday night. Booker is the leading scorer in the postseason averaging 36.9 points per game. Durant is fifth in playoff scoring averaging 29.3 points per game. This is the exact reason why the Suns entered the playoffs as the favorites to win it all. These are two top-level scorers, and rarely will you be able to limit them both.
Denver, meanwhile, has been led this year by two-time MVP Nikola Jokic. Jokic was outstanding in game three despite the Nugget's loss, as he delivered another triple-double posting a line of 30 points, 17 rebounds, and 17 assists. Fellow star Jamal Murray also delivered with a team-high thirty-two points.
The issue in Game 3 for the Nuggets was not their offense, but their defense struggled to get stops. Phoenix shot 50.5 percent from the floor and seemed to attack the rim much more than in Games 1 and 2. The Suns enter play tonight as a 2.5-point favorite with an opportunity to even the series.
I have said multiple times that I project this series to go seven games, and I love the Suns to even this series tonight. I have mentioned this numerous times throughout the season, but Denver is a completely different team on the road. This was a sub-.500 team during the regular season away from Denver, and in the playoffs, we have already seen their road woes.
I loved the game plan of Phoenix in Game 3 to attack the rim and not settle for threes. The Nuggets lack rim protection, and if Phoenix plays with a similar mindset today, I believe that they will win this game, and we will go back to Denver 2-2. Let’s stay hot and cash in!
