NBA Consensus Picks Suns VS Nuggets 10:00 AM Friday in Manila
Team | Spread Odds and Consensus | O/U Odds and Concsensus |
Suns | +3.5/1.85/24% | o226.5/1.95/95% |
Nuggets | -3.5/2.01/76% | u226.5/1.91/15% |
Suns VS Nuggets Game Prediction
Here are my picks and predictions for Game 5 between the Suns and Nuggets.
The Denver Nuggets are hoping to regain the home-court advantage they held in the first two games of the series. The key to their approach is center Nikola Jokic, who has been dominant in the past three games, scoring 54, 30, and 39 points, respectively, after opening the series with 24 points in Game 1.
Jokic's point prop has increased to 30.5 (Over -110) for Game 5, up from 27.5 O/U in Game 4 and a four-point adjustment from his other three scoring prop O/U in this series. While there will likely be a lot of Over action on Jokic's points prop based on his recent output, player projections for Game 5 suggest he may not reach that mark.
Jokic's points projections range from 24 to just under 27 for Game 5, leaving more room for Under bettors. My projection is just below 26 points for Jokic, which is roughly his average at home during this postseason.
It's important for the Phoenix Suns to clamp down on Jokic if they want to take the edge in this series. Suns head coach Monty Williams is throwing more beef at Jokic, with Deandre Ayton and Jock Landale sharing defensive duties. In Game 4, Landale held Jokic to 4 of 8 shooting and a turnover in just 21 minutes of play. Expect Landale to be more involved in guarding Jokic in Game 5 as the Suns search for answers on defense.
In summary, my prediction for Game 5 is that Jokic will score just below his points prop of 30.5, and the Suns will clamp down on him defensively to gain the edge in the series.
