I don’t think that the Suns should feel all that bad about being down 2-1 in this best of seven series. Chris Paul is out, they’ve gotten next to NOTHING from anybody outside of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker and are shooting below 30% from three for the series.
If there was a time that SOMEONE would step up alongside Durant and Booker, it would be here at home. I also expect we’ll start to see that 3-point % start to improve.
As for Denver, they scored 114 points in the Game 3 loss despite subpar overall shooting (44.3%). Over the last two games, the Nuggets are just 17 of 57 from three.
Going back to the end of the regular season, the Over is on an 8-2-1 run in Suns’ games.
With the expectation that both teams will see improvement in three-point shooting and the fact they combined for 235 points in the last game, I’ll gladly hop on the Over here. 10*
