While the Nuggets remain one of the NBA title contenders, the Phoenix Suns are struggling. Durant, D-Book, and the rest of the Arizona crew might actually miss the playoffs.
Phoenix Suns News
The Suns have had mixed results over their last four home games, securing two wins. Their most recent victory, a 119-117 win over the Clippers, was especially dramatic, as they came back from a 23-point deficit. That gives this team hope that they might turn the tables this season.
Kevin Durant scored 34 points and relentlessly poured in baskets throughout the night. The Suns had 31 assists in this game.
Denver Nuggets News
Nikola Jokic averages a triple-double and is in the top three most important statistical categories – points, boards, and assists – with 28.9 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists. No big guy ever did this in the past. However, despite his historic performance, Jokic isn’t the current front-runner for MVP honors.
His Nuggets defeated the Kings 116-110 on Wednesday, marking their 40th win of the season. Right now, they are leveled with the Lakers in the second spot in the East, and have nice chances to outcompete the LAL to take that seed.
