Quick Game Preview

The Phoenix Suns host the Denver Nuggets tonight in a battle that features some of the West's top teams. 

The Suns enter tonight's game on a three-game winning streak and are the No. 4 seed. Denver saw their four-game winning streak end in their recent loss to the New Orleans Pelicans and have a three-game lead for the No. 1 seed in the West. 

The Suns hope their top five defense (111.7 ppg) can hold a Nuggets team that leads the league in field goal percentage at 50.8%. 

The Nuggets are led by MVP candidate (and reigning back-to-back winner of the award) Nikola Jokic, who nearly averages a triple-double with 24.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 9.9 assists per night. He didn't play in the loss to New Orleans. 

In total, Denver has seven players that average double-digit points per night. 

As for Phoenix, they're totally healthy for the first time all season (at least it feels like) which includes the presence of Kevin Durant, who scored 16 points in his return from an ankle injury. 

The Suns have a 68.5% chance to win, according to ESPN's basketball index.
