PHX VS DEN Dream11 Team Prediction, NBA Regular Season: PHX vs DEN Dream11 Basketball Match Season match-up: The Phoenix Suns are entering this game after beating the Houston Rockets by 6 points in an Away game. In the game against the Rockets, DeAndre Ayton came with a massive performance, notching 26 points and 17 rebounds. On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets will enter the contest after blowing out Oklahoma City Thunder, in a game where Nikola Jokic led the way for them with 27 points. For the Suns, they have progressed well so far and are not far away from becoming a Playoff squad; the last return from Ayton holds a lot of promise. For the Nuggets, they have not found consistency and are overly reliant upon their star Center Nikola Jokic. The season is still long and both teams are still figuring out their rotation, but for the Nuggets, they haven’t been able to find a consistent third scoring option on the team. The game will be played in the Talking Stick Resorts Arena, which is the home floor for the Phoenix Suns. More information about PHX vs DEN Dream11 Match Prediction will be given here.

The last encounter between the two sides was a heated one, with Suns edging out by a mere 3 points margin, and in that game, DeAndre Ayton also did a terrific defensive job on Nikola Jokic.

The Suns have an edge as they are playing from home, and the Nuggets will need to bring the best out of them to overcome a formidable foe in the Phoenix Suns.
Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets, Key Players:
Nikola Jokic
PPG: 25.1
RPG: 11.9
APG: 10.0
SPG: 1.9
Nikola Jokic leads his team in the four major statistical categories, i.e. points, rebounds, assists, and steals. He is averaging a triple-double which is even more impressive for a Center. Jokic notched 27 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block in the win against the Thunder. He can be considered as a Super-Player pick in the Dream11 Fantasy basketball scenario.
Devin Booker
PPG: 22.2
APG: 4.1
RPG: 3.4
SPG: 1.1
Devin has been the main option for the Phoenix Suns all these years, and his production has lessened a little this year, but it also means that he has more help than in the preceding years. He registered 24 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block in the winning effort against the Rockets.
Jamal Murray
PPG: 19.2
APG: 4.0
RPG: 3.5
SPG: 1.0
Jamal has been the second option for the Nuggets and does well in a Jokic-centric offense. He will like to get involved more to make sure that the team racks up more wins but there is a lot of time to pass in this season. He had a tough shooting night against the Rockets, managing only 5 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals in the loss to Oklahoma City.
DeAndre Ayton
PPG: 13.9
RPG: 12.1
