Let\u2019s find the best bet in this one and make it a profitable Thursday.<\/p>\n<h3>Suns Cruising<\/h3>\n<p>The Suns have done a fantastic job adapting to life without CP3 as they\u2019re on a 10-2 straight up win streak, but they are only 6-4 ATS in their last 10.<\/p>\n<p>They have been a scoring machine as their games have gone over in four out of five games, and there is another stat involving them that I\u2019ll save for my official pick.<\/p>\n<p>Booker has shown a nice combination of maturity and explosiveness running the offense with Paul\u2019s absence, and Ayton and Bridges along with contributions from Cameron Payne have made this team lethal on offense.<\/p>\n<p>The other piece is they are the second best defensive rated team the last 30 days so this is the ultimate clicking on all cylinders team.<\/p>\n<h3>Nuggets Get Needed Win<\/h3>\n<p>The Nuggets needed to get a win against the Clippers to maintain their seeding, and they did just that, but it\u2019s still just their third win in their last seven games.<\/p>\n<p>Jokic has now lead them in point, rebounds and assists in 10 straight games, and that could spell trouble against the Suns who can attack from almost anywhere, and who also plays great team defense.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing consistent sticks out with this team with ATS streaks or Over\/Unders, and it\u2019s once again all about Jokic tonight and if he can keep it close.<\/p>\n<p>Their biggest advantage they have is the back to back for Phoenix, but can they take advantage?<\/p>\n<h2>Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>The Suns have won the second leg of their back to back in six out of their last seven games, so the lack of rest hasn\u2019t been an issue for them.<\/p>\n<p>They are also 8-2 over their team total in their last 10 games and 5-0 their last five so they\u2019ve been scoring a ton, and I don\u2019t see Denver slowing them down.<\/p>\n<p>I expect Phoenix to win as I\u2019m not a fan of a one man show Denver team, but I\u2019ll just take Phoenix and the points and feel good about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Phoenix Suns +4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">NBA Stat Sheet<\/h3>\n<p>Each day, WagerTalk handicapper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/profile\/ralph-michaels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ralph Michaels<\/a> puts together his NBA Stat Sheet, which offers a head-to-head comparison for how teams are performing in a number of key areas heading into a game.
