This series has a strong Zig/Zag feel to it. The Suns returned to Phoenix down 0-2 and proceeded to win both home games. Now the Suns go back to Denver for Game 5.

I want the Nuggets going for me here. It's not just the Zig-Zag either. Denver is dominant at home going 39-7 this season. This includes a 5-0 SU, 4-1 ATS playoff mark.

The Nuggets defeated the Suns by 18 and 10 points, respectively, during the first two games of the series.

Denver hung in against the Suns in Phoenix, but couldn't overcome the Suns' fantastic shooting. Phoenix shot 50.5 percent from the floor in Game 3 and 56.8 percent from the field in Game 4. Devin Booker shot a mind-blowing combined 34-for-43 from the floor for 79 percent in Games 3 and 4.

No way can Booker and the Suns keep up that kind of torrid shooting. Denver ranked No. 8 defensively during the regular season. The Nuggets have a huge edge in the middle with Nikola Jokic dominating Deandre Ayton and Denver holding a rotation and bench edge.

Chris Paul has missed the last two games with a groin injury. If Paul were to return, you have to wonder how close to 100 percent he would be. The Suns also are 0-2 against the Nuggets in this series with Paul in the starting lineup.
