Denver is the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference with winning records both home and away. Nikola Jokic has had a month to remember with games of 38, 34, 48, and 56 points. He had 32 points in Monday's rout of Phoenix, 117-90. The Nuggets are on a 5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS run ranked third in the NBA in scoring and shooting (49.7%), plus fifth from long range. Banged-up Phoenix is currently out of playoff positioning on a 2-6 SU, 1-7 ATS slide. In Monday's loss, they were missing second-leading scorer Devin Booker (25.1 ppg) and Grayson Allen (concussion) while the defense allowed Denver to shoot 51.1%. Play Denver.
