The teams split four games during the regular season.
But Denver posted two wins over Phoenix before the All-Star break prior to Kevin Durant joining the Suns.
When the Suns recently beat the Nuggets twice within a seven-day span (100-93 on March 31 and 119-115 on April 6), Denver was without star center Nikola Jokic, who was out with a calf injury.
Here’s a look at the series from a betting perspective, with odds at FOX Bet:
