We get treated to an incredible Western Conference showdown when Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets visit Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns tonight.
The Nuggets have been the best offense in the NBA this season, and not just because they have The Joker. This team has great ball movement and depth.
Will Phoenix be able to slow down all of Denver’s scoring options?
My Suns vs. Nuggets predictions are bullish on a player prop that may be overlooked. Read more in my NBA picks for Saturday, November 29.
Nuggets vs Suns prediction
Nuggets vs Suns best bet: Cam Johnson Over 14.5 points (-105)
Saturday night’s matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns should be a thrilling one.
These are two great Western Conference teams that have both stumbled a bit lately, with each dropping two of their last three games.
My money is on the Nuggets being more well-equipped to bounce back here.
Denver owns the best offense in the NBA this season, leading the Association in offensive rating. Yes, having Nikola Jokic helps that a lot, but it’s Denver’s depth and willingness to move the ball that makes them so difficult to defend.
One way depth has shown itself is in Cam Johnson's performance. The small forward had been having a relatively quiet first season in Denver. But with injuries to Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun, Johnson has stepped up his game.
Johnson is averaging 22 points on a ridiculous 79.7 effective field goal percentage over the last three games. That includes him going 13-for-20 (65%) from 3-point range.
Johnson has put up 20, 18, and 28 points over that stretch, but oddsmakers are still treating him like he’s the Nuggets’ fourth option, setting his point total for this matchup at 14.5.
The Suns have been solid defensively, but they’ll have their hands full with Jokic and Jamal Murray. I’m riding the hot hand here and taking Johnson to go Over his points total in what should be an entertaining Western Conference showdown on Saturday night.

Nuggets vs Suns same-game parlay
I wrote about how well the Nuggets move the ball. Well, it’s not just Nikola Jokic. Jamal Murray has been a force when it comes to assists this season.
He’s averaging 6.8 assists per game this season and has taken that to the next level lately, upping that number to 8.3 over his last seven games. He’s dished out seven or more dimes in six of those games. So, adding Over 6.5 assists for Murray is an easy decision for this SGP.
While the Nuggets’ offense has been lighting it up this season, they have been just average at the other end of the floor, ranking 14th in defensive rating, and tonight they’ll have to contend with Devin Booker.
The Suns’ star guard is averaging 25.6 points per game with a 50.5% effective field goal percentage. He’s topped this number 10 times this season, including when he went for 31 when these teams met back in October.
