Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets Everything you need to know

The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets are set to face off in the NBA Western Conference semifinals. Here's everything you need to know about the matchup.

Head to head stats

The Suns and Nuggets played each other three times in the regular season, with the Suns winning two of those games. The Suns have an overall record of 60-22 while the Nuggets have a record of 53-29. However, the Nuggets are playing without their star point guard Jamal Murray, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury earlier this month. This will be a big blow to the Nuggets as Murray was instrumental in their run to the conference finals last season.

Key matchups

The matchup between Nikola Jokic and Deandre Ayton will be the key battle in this series. Jokic is the front-runner for the NBA MVP award this season and has been the driving force behind the Nuggets' success. Ayton, on the other hand, has been a revelation for the Suns this season, averaging 14.4 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. He will need to be at his best defensively to limit Jokic's impact.

Another key matchup will be between Devin Booker and Michael Porter Jr. Both players have been in good form in the playoffs so far and will be looking to carry that form into this series. Booker has been the Suns' best player this season, averaging 25.6 points per game, while Porter Jr. has been the Nuggets' second-best player behind Jokic, averaging 19.1 points per game.
