(NBA) Phoenix vs. Denver,
Point Spread: -6.00 | -110.00 Denver (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Denver Nuggets
Rating: 10/10*

The Denver Nuggets have picked up pace and won five of their last seven games. They're 6-1 ATS during that stretch, and I think they'll keep it rolling here against the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix had won back-to-back games at New York and Toronto before coming up just short in a 112-111 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday. Here they'll face a Denver team that has won both meetings this season (120-104 at Denver on Nov. 16 and 120-114 at Phoenix on Nov. 27).

Phoenix is 29th in the league in scoring defense allowing 111.5 points a night. The Nuggets boast a high-octane offense, and I don't see the Suns keeping pace with Denver here. Lay the points on the home favorite.
