While Durant played in both games the Suns won the only starter who appeared (and just in one of the two matches) was Aaron Gordon while the Suns had their full starting lineup.
Last season the clubs played three times with Phoenix winning two of the three contests. The Suns hold the all-time record having bested the Nuggets in 102 of their 189 matches.
This is the fifth time the clubs are facing each other in the postseason with Phoenix holding the 3-1 advantage including the most recent meeting in 2021 when the Nuggets were limited without Murray or Porter Jr.
Denver Nuggets
As predicted Michael Porter Jr. was due to have a breakout effort after scoring just 16 points in the series while connecting on 1 of 6 triples. In Game 3 he registered a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds hitting six of his 10 deep balls.
Jamal Murray got out to a hot start but faded down the stretch still collecting 32 points plus six rebounds, five assists, a steal, and a block while Nicola Jokic produced a massive triple-double of 30 points, 17 rebounds, and 17 assists.
Stats
On the positive side, Denver possesses one of the two best offenses in the league highlighted by scoring 115.8 points per game ranking 12th. Denver is shooting the best field goal percentage of 50.4% as well as the fourth-best perimeter efficiency of 37.9%.
Denver allows opponents to score 112.5 points per game which ranks eighth while limiting foes to 47.8% from the field and 34.4% from deep ranking 20th and third respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Collin Gillespie PG (OUT—leg fracture)
Phoenix Suns
Monty Williams acquiesced to the pressure of going deeper into his bench utilizing TJ Warren and Terrance Ross while relying on Josh Landale more than Deandre Ayton who continues to get roasted by Jokic.
That trio offered 18 points and 12 rebounds which was the difference in the match. Stars Devin Booker (47 points, six rebounds, nine assists, three steals, block) and Kevin Durant (39 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks) carried the majority of the load.
Stats
Phoenix averages 113.6 points per game ranking 17th while shooting 46.7% from the field and 37.4% from the perimeter ranking 23rd and seventh overall.
Defensively opponents score 111.6 points ranking sixth-best. Meanwhile, they limit foes to 46.6% from the field and 35.7% from the perimeter ranking sixth and 11th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Chris Paul PG (OUT indefinitely— groin)

Free Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
The big question is how realistic it is for KD and Booker to keep playing over 42 minutes per game while carrying the majority of contributions.
Despite Williams going deeper into his bench in Game 3 the superstar duo accounted for 71% of the scoring, 70% of the assists, 60% of the steals, 50% of the blocks, and 36% of the rebounds.
It’s not a series until a team wins on the road and with only a day off between contests I’m going to tap the team with the depth to take this game – so grab the points.
