After getting clobbered last night by the Thunder in the fourth quarter, the Suns (9-27) finish back-to-back games this evening against the Nuggets. It's the second game of the Suns seven game home stand.

The Nuggets (22-11) beat the Spurs at home on Friday 102-99.

The game will be televised on FSAZ Plus. Start time is listed at 7 p.m.

Here is a game preview by Duane Rankin at azcentral:


Outlook:
Phoenix continues its seven-game homestand against Denver after opening it Friday against Oklahoma City. This will the second of a back-to-back for the Suns. … Denver entered Friday’s game against San Antonio atop the Western Conference with a 21-11 record. … The Suns went 3-2 on their road trip before facing the Thunder. … The Nuggets beat the Suns, 119-91, in their only meeting so far this season Oct. 22 in Denver as center Nikola Jokic had a triple-double of 35 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. … Kelly Oubre Jr. averaged 14.9 points in his first four games with Phoenix as he scored 20 against his former team in a triple-overtime loss at Washington. Denver will follow up this game with New York on New Year’s Day while Phoenix’s next game is New Year’s Eve against Golden State. The defending NBA champion Warriors beat the Suns in Oakland by 20 back in October.

Totally different animal than last night.
Instead of Westbrook now we get to see if the Suns can stop the Joker.

Batman?

Is anyone else's Cox guide showing Coyotes list on both channels tonight? suppose to be channel 1073

I am sure it's just a error with the guide, but given how packed tonights sports schedule in general is, I would be bummed if they screwed up and I miss recording it...

With George out, had we shot halfway decently we could have pulled off the upset. Denver is missing some players too but I think we have to play well and get a little help from them, Jokic is just not a good match-up for us right now. Maybe when Ayton adds some strength?

Sometimes I think restaurants play bad music so to speak to keep cutomers moving.

I’m talking about the ad during the pre game and game that is played over and over. Do you not see the Carl’s Jr. ad over and over? It aired at least 10 times during the pre game show.

Suns are paying so much attention to Jokic the Nuggets are getting open looks.

I thought this might be what you meant.

Luckily I don't get the ad (at least that I am aware) and if I did I would block it out. Advertisement is wasted on me.

Chambers and Eddie both talked about Booker and the hero ball. Especially in the 4th quarter. Talked about the need to keep running plays.

Another game, another horrendous start. The lack of strategic planning and preparation is astounding.

The Suns can't get the ball inside so they are dependent on the outside shot.

The Nuggets started hitting outside shots, now they are getting inside baskets.
