It's a rematch of last season's Western Conference Playoff series between the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets. The defending champions are on a roll currently having won 6 straight games, can Kevin Durant and co. put an end to that tonight? Tip-off is at 10 pm ET on TNT. I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which is available below.

Nikola Jokic to Score 25+ Points (-155)
It's pick your poison with Nikola Jokic tonight as he goes up against one of his favorite teams the Phoenix Suns. Over the last 10 meetings he is averaging 31.8 points, 12.3 rebounds and 10.8 assists vs the Suns, so you can basically pick out any stat you want and just go for it. I've opted for the points mainly due to the potential absence of Jusuf Nurkic who is questionable with a calf issue. Nurkic just grabbed 31 rebounds in the loss to OKC, facing a player like Jokic after doing so much work is far from ideal. Especially since the Joker is averaging a triple-double in the 5 games since the restart. He also just had a massive 35 point explosion against the Lakers, I just don't see how the Suns counter him on the inside here.
