The Phoenix Suns (11-7) and defending-champion Denver Nuggets (13-6) meet tonight in a primetime matchup at Footprint Center. This is the Suns’ first chance in the regular season to get revenge on Denver for knocking them out of last season’s playoffs. However, Phoenix will be without Devin Booker tonight after he rolled his ankle in Wednesday’s loss to the Toronto Raptors. Denver will be without Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon. The Suns had won seven straight before Wednesday, while the Nuggets enter tonight having won their last three games.
