The Denver Nuggets will look to bounce back against the Phoenix Suns after a debacle in Houston.
The Denver Nuggets travel to Phoenix after getting blown out in Houston by the high flying Rockets.
The Phoenix Suns have gone into a full rebuild process, but they are still a NBA team who can beat anyone on any given night in the NBA. They actually did defeat the Denver Nuggets earlier this season which was a major blow to Denver’s bid to get good positioning in the Western Conference playoff picture.
Now, Denver comes into Phoenix with a chip on their shoulder after a lack luster performance against James Harden and the Rockets. Denver will look to get their back court rolling after Gary Harris and Jamal Murray both failed to even get into double figures against Houston’s super star back court.
Not to mention, Jamal Murray and Devin Booker will make for a fun little rivalry. The last time these teams faced off, Booker mocked Murray with his signature Blue Arrow move after draining a three point shot. Murray then answered and the former Wild Cats had a bit of fun with each other.
Nikola Jokic will also look to answer after his less than impressive performance in Houston where he let Clint Capela eat him alive in the paint. Do not expect the Joker to get worked in the same way this time around.
As a matter of fact, I would not be surprised if he answered with a triple double of his own in this game and shows why he is the cornerstone piece for this young Nuggets squad.

Phoenix is going to come out to play as well and Denver cannot get complacent and take them for granted. Hopefully, they can bounce back after the loss in Houston.
