PHX vs DEN Dream11 Prediction NBA Projections, Daily Fantasy Basketball Team, Top Picks and Tips for Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets

PHX vs DEN Dream11: The Western Conference rivalries have always been a huge subject for many years now. In this game, two Western Conference stalwarts and Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets will fight it out. The Suns are on a glorious 11-game win streak while Nuggets have lost their last three games but still sit 2 games above the 50% win mark.

Denver has grappled with injuries all season and played without their three key players in Porter, Jokic, and Murray in the last game. However, the team is deep and Will Barton along with Aaron Gordon has been a major contributor. The Nuggets will look imposing once they get healthier. On the other hand, the Suns have been lucky and have fielded a largely healthy roster. With the backcourt punch of Booker-Paul, tagged along with pesky wing players Bridges and Crowder, and with Ayton in the middle providing quality on both ends, Suns are a loaded roster.

Host: Phoenix Suns
Visitors: Denver Nuggets
Match Timing: 22 November, @ 06:30 AM
Venue: Footprint Center

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Suns: Imposing on both ends
The Suns’ starters can all play solid on both ends of the floor. During the win streak, the team has constantly scored 110-120 points while restricting opponents around 100 mostly. There is a reason why this team plays this well, the forwards are athletic, the guards are disciplined and the Center is one of the most versatile defenders. The Suns are difficult to deal with and there is a reason why they were the Finalists last season.

Nuggets: They have done well
Despite losing three in a row, we must understand the Nuggets’ condition. The team is playing without their star wing and guard, which means losing around 40 points per night. That is why the squad has struggled to put up points and hangs its hat on defense. The Nuggets play hard on the defensive side, and with the athletic legs of Gordon and Barton, the job of switching gets easier. However, it is Nikola Jokic who is the most important part of the team. Can the Nuggets win without him since he is questionable for the game?

Points: 28
Rebounds: 09
