Lay the points with Denver. The Nuggets bring the league’s most efficient offense into a matchup where Phoenix is struggling to defend and find rhythm. With Jokic controlling tempo and the Suns dropping four of five, Denver’s consistency and execution should create separation and cover the number late.
