The Phoenix Suns continue their four-game homestand March 24 against the Denver Nuggets at Mortgage Matchup Center.
NBC and Peacock are televising the 8 p.m. game.
The Suns (40-32) snapped a season-long, five-game losing skid with a 120-98 victory March 22 over the Toronto Raptors in the second of a back-to-back while the Nuggets (44-28) are coming off a 128-112 win Sunday over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Phoenix has Royce O’Neale (left knee soreness) listed as probable as he has missed the team’s last three games.
Grayson Allen (left knee injury management) is questionable while Dillon Brooks (left hand fracture), Mark Williams (left foot third metatarsal stress reaction), Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management) and Amir Coffey (left ankle sprain) are ruled out.
Peyton Watson (right hamstring injury management) is listed out for the Nuggets.
Phoenix is facing three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, who is averaging a triple-double of 28 points, 12.6 rebounds and 10.6 assists.
In his two games against the Suns, Jokic is averaging 20 points on a season-high 80% shooting on just 7.5 shots attempts (making an average of six shots), 12.5 assists and 11.5 rebounds.
Denver owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over Phoenix, 2-0, as this will be the final regular-season game between the two teams. Four games separate the Suns and Nuggets in the Western Conference. Phoenix is seventh in the West while Denver stands fourth.
With 10 games remaining, the Suns are 3½ games behind the Houston Rockets for sixth and trail the Minnesota Timberwolves by four games for fifth. The Suns own the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Timberwolves, 2-1.
The Rockets have the head-to-head tiebreaker over Phoenix, 3-0, as they meet one last time in the regular season April 7 in Kevin Durant’s return game.
