Phoenix at Denver

Premium Pick

This is a matchup of very young teams, and the Suns have felt more of that pain as they are just 15-30 on the season. The Suns have just seven road wins thus far, and history shows us they have not fared particularly well in Denver, covering just 43.9% of the last 45 meetings. Those numbers turn very sour when posted as a road dog, as they are a woeful 2-16 SU, and just 5-13 ATS, 1-8 SU/ATS in their last nine trips as a dog. The Nuggets are turning up the pace at home where they average nearly 113 points per game, and a team without a great deal of experience and depth is likely to wilt in the Denver altitude, especially at a break-neck pace. Play on Denver.

0.5 unit on Denver -7 (-102) (risk 0.5 to return 0.99)
