I'm playing on Denver/Phoenix UNDER the total. While Game 1 snuck over the number, I'm expecting a lower-scoring Game 2. The Suns are playing great defense right now. They've allowed an average of just 95.5 their past four games, never giving up more than 105. They've allowed less than 110 in all seven of their playoff games, holding their opponents to a 42.2% field goal percentage. In other words, if Denver wants to compete, its going to have to elevate its own defense. Game 1 notwithstanding, Nugget road games are lower-scoring than Nugget home games. Look for the Suns to continue their hard work on defense, while the Nuggets improve defensively themselves, the UNDER improving to 9-4 the past 13 times that Denver had seen its previous three games fall below the total.
