*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Monday, March 4th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Tuesday, March 5th.
Phoenix Suns
Sitting atop the NBA list for hardest closing schedules is the Suns who can’t afford to lose games against teams they should beat like the Kings. That was a brutal loss by Phoenix.
They continue to implode in clutch time as they erased a double-digit deficit to overtake the Thunder only to cough it up in clutch time. The loss dropped them into the play-in seeds.
Suns Stats
As of this posting, Phoenix is tied for seventh offensively (118.0) and ranks tied for 14th defensively (114.8) while their net differential is plus +3.1 which ranks 11th overall.
The Suns have struggled against the spread with a 24-34-2 record through 60 contests.
Suns Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Devin Booker, SG (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Damion Lee, SG (out indefinitely — knee)
- Josh Okogie, SG (questionable — hip)
- Nassir Little, SF (questionable — knee)
Denver Nuggets
I’ve mentioned this previously but it warrants repeating… the Nuggets are one of the best clutch time defenses and the perfect example was the game in LA on Saturday.
It seriously is like Denver is playing with their food and then seemingly flips a switch in the final frame, especially in clutch time.
They were in a close game versus the Lakers and then boom – they got repeated stops and closed the final five minutes more than doubling the scoring of their opponent finishing with a double-digit victory.
Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks eighth offensively (117.5) and ninth defensively (113.4) with a net differential of plus +4.1 which ranks seventh overall.
Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 27-32-2 record through 61 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SG (upgraded to probable — personal)
- Braxton Key, PF (questionable — personal)
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)

Tied to their recent uprise the Nuggets rank third offensively plus net rating and seventh defensively since returning from the break.
There are numerous differences between these two clubs but the main one is how they close games. Not that I believe this will be close if all the key starters play, but if it is close my money is on the Nuggets extending their win streak.
