Suns vs. Nuggets Betting Preview
The Suns and Nuggets are two teams that are fighting for the top spot in the Western Conference this year, so it's an absolute treat that we'll get to watch them compete in the final game of the Christmas Day slate. It is, however, Denver that is entering this game in better shape. While Michael Porter Jr. is back for the Nuggets, the Suns remain without Cam Johnson and Jae Crowder (who Phoenix is still trying to trade). Devin Booker also happens to be dealing with an injured groin, so he'll either miss this one or be playing at less than 100% health.
