The Nuggets vs Suns live stream has Phoenix looking to continue their push through the playoffs, while Denver tries to stand their ground in this NBA playoffs live stream.
The Nuggets and Suns come into this series after a couple of first round battles. Denver eliminated the Trailblazers in six games despite a few historic performances from Damian Lillard, while the Suns bounced the defending champion Lakers in six games as well. For each team their success has been due to their key players living up to their reputation.
Phoenix is in the playoffs for the first time in over a decade, but you would never know it based on the way six-year veteran and career Sun, Devin Booker has been playing. Booker averaged just under 30-points-per-game against the Lakers in his first ever playoff series, which included a 47-point performance in the decisive Game 6. He also chipped in six rebounds and five assists per game.
Nikola Jokic was just as clutch for the Nuggets. In their series clinching win over Portland, “The Joker” scored 31 of his game-high 36 points in the second half to help them come back from a 14-point deficit. Through the first round, Jokic averaged 33 points-per-game while Michael Porter Jr has stepped up as the teams’ second leading scorer with 18.8 ppg. The Nuggets have needed all the help they can get since losing Jamal Murray to a torn ACL in April.
The Nuggets won their regular season series with the Suns, 2-1. Game 1 of this series will be the first time they tip-off against Phoenix without Murray. Denver is trying to advance to the conference finals for the second straight year, while the Suns are looking for their first conference finals appearance since 2010.
