Premium Pick

The home team has won all four games in the series and now it goes back to Denver where the Nuggets are 39-7 this season and 30-16 ATS. Nikola Jokic was not suspended as was feared, and he comes off a 53-point performance on 20-for-30 shooting in Game 4. Unfortunately for the Nuggets their bench was outscored 40-11 by the Suns' reserves. That will need to change tonight and the Nuggets have covered six of seven at home and they are 7-3 ATS their past 10 games after allowing at least 125 points their previous game. Phoenix has covered the number just one of its past five road contests and will be without Chris Paul again, although that didn't make much difference in their home games. The Suns are 19-26 with a 22-23 ATS mark on the road in 2022-23. Take the Nuggets - Max Play
