# 715 denver nuggets +2.5 both teams come in off tough losses on the road...suns had their chances late before losing by 3 at san antonio and denver playing a great first half in los angeles before falling apart and losing by 6...keep in mind the nuggets were facing a laker team that was down 2-0 in the season series and just came out furious in the 2nd half as would be expected...so tonight on this back to back for both clubs i think we get the better bounce from the team staying on the road...the more well rounded and better coached nuggets team catching a few points here when imo it should be a pk or maybe denver -1...tonight's line tells me that on a nuetral court these teams would be a about a pk and i'm not buying that...i see the nuggets as a legit threat to win the west and i don't see phoenix in the same light...there is no scheduling advantage here for phoenix and actually denver should come in with a chip on their shoulder stemming from these teams last meeting earlier in february when the suns went into denver as a 7 point dog and beat the nuggets by 12 ending a 9 game home winning streak for denver...after that game george karl said he was disappointed watching his team get outworked....i like this spot for the nuggets as an underdog in a game where if it's getting tight late they are more capable of getting big defensive stops and have 2 big game finishers in carmelo and chauncy...in a tough back to back for both clubs i'm going with the better all around basketball team pissed off about how the last meeting went down...# 715 denver nuggets +2.5 and ML +125
good luck gentlemen
