The loss of starting guard Jamal Murray has shown up in this series already. The Nuggets wer able to get by without Murray in their opening round series against Portland. However, that can be attributed to Portland being an average to below average defensive team. On the other hand, the Phoenix Suns are allowing 98.5 points per game in these 2021 NBA Playoffs. That includes holding opponents to 98 points or fewer in 4 of their 8 postseason contests. Conversely, Denver is allowing an alarmingly high 120.2 points per game during postseason action while also allowing opponents (Portland, Phoenix) to shoot 48.4% and make an extremely high 41.7% of their 3-point shot attempts. Bet on Phoenix for a 5* wager.
