In Games 3 and 4 against the Denver Nuggets, the Phoenix Suns made an outstanding effort. With their efforts, they were able to tie the Nuggets 2-2 in the series. The Suns are, however, once again under pressure to lose after their defeat last time out. It was somewhat anticipated that the Suns would maintain their momentum into the following game after their performances in Games 3 and 4. But it has now provided the Nuggets with some breathing room.
To force a Game 7 at the Ball Arena, the Suns have everything on the line at home. However, due to another injury scare, things have abruptly changed in the Nuggets’ favor. For a significant amount of time, the Suns were a team that was without Chris Paul and Devin Booker. Deandre Ayton is in charge, keeping everything together for them. Even if their circumstance is the identical, let’s look at it still.
Chris Paul is out for the Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets game tonight
Not that CP3 hasn’t contributed much over the past two seasons, but rather that he has lessened in importance for them. Paul has many positive traits, but his leadership abilities will be most missed.Due to a groin injury, he is listed as out for tonight’s game. On the other hand, Deandre Ayton, who has a rib contusion, is a further source of injury worry for the Suns. The coach will make the call during the game.
The Nuggets have no significant injury that will hold them down. With all players healthy and running, the Suns face a very uncertain future in the payoffs. A healthy Nuggets roster is capable of taking down any team. It is a huge blow for the Suns as Ayton is listed as questionable for tonight s game. Let s take a look at the complete injury report and expected roster of both teams.

The Denver Nuggets are favored tonight to book their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals
The Suns, who have listed Ayton as questionable for tonight’s game, are quite concerned about it. The Suns’ serious injury worry will make the Nuggets aware of the pressure they are under. To win the series and guarantee their place in the Conference finals, it will be their greatest night. The Nuggets defeated the Suns in their most recent game, 118-102, featuring strong performances from every player on the team.
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant who have been the best players for the Suns will know what s at stake. They have been delivering big performances to keep the Suns in the tie. However, more will be required from them against the Nuggets. We expect the Nuggets to win tonight, however, the Suns will be expected to not give the Nuggets an easy route to the Finals.
