In an attempt to increase their winning streak to seven games, the Denver Nuggets hosted the Phoenix Suns at the Ball Arena on Tuesday. Since the All-Star break, when the season resumed, the Nuggets have been playing well. In the meantime, the Suns wanted to snap a two-game losing streak.
Devin Booker was out for Phoenix after he hurt his ankle against the Houston Rockets on March 2. Due to the injury, Booker is anticipated to miss at least seven to ten days. A healthy Nuggets squad that welcomed back Kentavious Caldwell-Pope after a one-game absence could be a challenge for them.
The Suns and Nuggets met for the 191st time during the regular season on Tuesday. This is the second meeting of the season; on December 1 at Phoenix, Denver defeated Phoenix 119-111 in the first meeting. They play each other one again on March 27 in Denver.
