What was expected to be an evenly-matched series turned sharply in the Nuggets’ favor over the first two games.
Denver rolled to a Game 1 win and rode a terrific defensive performance to a win in Game 2 to put all of the pressure on the Suns the rest of the way. If Phoenix wants to maintain a realistic shot at winning the series, winning Game 4 at home is critical.
The Suns are expected to still be without Chris Paul, who suffered a groin injury in Game 2 and missed Game 3. Finding production outside of stars has been an issue for Monty Williams’ squad in these playoffs, and losing Paul is another hit to their roster depth.
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant were dominant enough to lead the Suns to a win in Game 3, and the pressure remains squarely on their shoulders with Paul missing.
Phoenix will also have to find a way to defend Nikola Jokic, who took over Game 2 offensively and posted another triple-double in Game 3. Keeping a two-time MVP in check is easier said than done, and it’s becoming clear the Suns don’t have the advantage over him that they did in the 2021 playoffs when they swept Denver.
