The Suns are currently the fourth seed in the Western Conference with a 19-14 record in 33 games. 

In their most recent game, they got blown out 125-100 by Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies at home in Arizona on Friday night. 

Over the last ten games, the Suns are 3-7, and they are also in the middle of a two-game losing streak. 

Getting Booker back in the lineup will give them a huge boost, as he is their best player. 

This will be the first time that the Suns and Nuggets have faced off during the 2022-23 season. 

The Nuggets come into the matchup tied with the Grizzlies for the first seed in the Western Conference. 

They are 20-11 in 31 games and in the middle of a three-game winning streak. 

At home, the Nuggets are 11-3 in 14 games hosted in Colorado.
