Denver is playing its fourth game in eight days, and the first three were on the road, and more than three points decided none of the three. The Nuggets lost at Portland 126-124 and barely got by the hapless Pelicans 132-129 in overtime after trailing by nine with 7:50 left in the fourth quarter on Sunday. Phoenix will look to snap a two-game skid, and Denver is just 10-15-1 ATS, including 4-6-1 ATS at home. The Suns have won five of six straight-up against Western Conference teams, and Denver is 1-6 ATS in the past seven Monday games. The Nuggets are 0-4-1 ATS as favorites of 0.5-4.5 points and 0-4 ATS after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Fatigue will set in with the Nuggets in this matchup. Take the Suns as my Game of the Year Max Play.
