Nuggets vs Suns Series Bets wonders how many games it will take for the Denver Nuggets to clinch their series against the Phoenix Suns. Give Phoenix credit as they held serve at home, but Denver (-160 series favorite) seems to have another level. Could the Suns surprise the Nuggets once in two road games? That appears not likely. MyBookie Vegas online sportsbook tosses some different ways to get in on series betting.
Nuggets vs Suns Series Bets are more interesting again because of Chris Paul. Again, this is because Paul is still out with a groin injury. The Paul malady forced Phoenix to play at a much faster tempo. Denver can match this but not match up quite as well on the road. The result allowed the Suns to hold serve at home with some wild scoring totals. Basically, numbers what most were used to seeing in the 1980s.
Game 4 saw the teams combine for a whopping 253 points. Does anyone expect that to happen in Denver? Hey, it could come close. After all, Denver scored 125 in Game 1, and Nikola Jokic racked up 53 points over the weekend. With Devin Booker and Kevin Durant playing “playground basketball”, the Suns are doing what works for them. Can Phoenix manage to win one game in Denver? That’s the real question.
So, some suggest it is possible that Phoenix could steal one game on the road. Oddly enough, this Phoenix team had the lead in Game 2, and the adjustment period without Paul likely cost them that game. What adjustments does Denver make at home that they cannot execute on the road? Ultimately, this feels like the difference in this series. It felt like a battle destined to go the distance.
Yes, there exists the possibility that Phoenix could close this out in six games, but it is more likely that Phoenix draws this Round 2 clash out. As much as that +105 for six games is tempting, the -130 feels safer. Some suspect this line could drop so be aware. Denver had chances to win both games in Phoenix. We like them to still win in seven games in the Nuggets vs Suns Series Props.
These Nuggets vs Suns Series Bets look at the chance of some possible series outcomes. This is different from predicting the number of games or a series winner. A concrete amount of contests plus the winner. For example, if one predicts the Nuggets to beat the Suns in seven, then it would Be Denver wins the series four games to three.
At Vegas Betting, we ponder the likelihood of the home team holding serve and winning each game. This happens not as often as it used to, but it is possible in a series with contrast. What do we mean? Phoenix plays in the valley, and Denver’s home court is around a mile up (hence “Mile-High City”). The thought process is the duo of Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker may tire out, whereas Denver’s trio is more used to the rarified air.
Naturally, the belief is Landry Shamet is not capable of pulling off his Game 4 effort in Denver. One never truly knows, but the Nuggets coach Michael Malone believes he has a game plan for Games 5 and 7. It sounds like me that even Malone and Nikola Jokic are under the impression this series is destined for that seventh and deciding game. That would be some finish.
NBA online betting sites enjoy that 4-3 outcome for Denver. Some asked about the 4-2 result, which gets boosted to +250. Before Game 3, those numbers were flipped. The trio of Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon proved too much at home and seemed capable of not letting the pressure get to them. With their coach appearing to know what is in store, the Nuggets vs Suns Series Prop Bets likes this outcome.
The Nuggets vs Suns Series Props ask can we go further?. So, yes, one could hedge out Phoenix to win in seven games at +340. Amusingly, pundits seem to think that the Suns could win Games 5 and 6. This is because the Sun’s outcome in six stands at +320. Could Durant, Booker, and company pull off a Game 5 win? It appears to be the least likely path.
NBA prop bets take advantage of a few more options too. Denver winning in six contests is interesting, but there is that hedge for a series outcome in six at +105. That is the thing with series like the one we see in the West. Would anyone be surprised if the Los Angeles and Golden State series goes down the same path? That answer is no.
Keep a vigilant eye on what may shift and not shift between now and the end of the series. Series props change often and sometimes from night to night.
Finally, watch for the next two rounds as we dig into series futures from the beginning.
At VegasBetting, as these NBA Playoffs keep rolling, we keep on finding more and more different wagers. The goal is to roll with the punches and deliver some winning counters. Good luck!
