The Phoenix Suns continue their three-game road trip against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena in the second of a back-to-back.

For the second-straight game, the talent discrepancy between the Suns and their opponent was too much for Phoenix to overcome, and the Suns did not help themselves by letting the Nuggets getting a lot of easy looks, especially in the first half.

Bet on Devin Booker's points prop for tonight's Suns vs. Nuggets expert predictions, picks & odds for Saturday.

The Denver Nuggets defeated the Phoenix Suns, 133-111, to win their home opener at the Ball Arena. It was also the Nuggets' first win of the season since they lost their opener to the Golden State Warriors in overtime on Oct. 23. Nikola Jokic messed around and dropped another triple-double for the second straight game.

It has been three games and the Phoenix Suns are missing one of the two players they absolutely cannot afford to have sidelined. With that said, they have not offered a flattering first impression with their third straight dud in the first half, the latest coming in Saturday’s 133-111 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have ruled out Jalen Green (hamstring) and Mark Williams (right knee injury management) ahead of their clash against the Denver Nuggets tonight. Green has been out since preseason with his hamstring injury and is set to be re-evaluated soon.
