The Denver Nuggets are proving that quantity outweighs quality, as the deeper team has jumped out to a 2-0 series lead on the Phoenix Suns. Can Kevin Durant & Co. get on the board tonight? D_Farmer is skeptical.
Michael Porter Jr. Over 14.5 pointsDenver has found itself in its transition offense on 17.3% of its postseason possessions, per nba.com, scoring 1.13 points per possession. The Suns and the Heat have higher points per possession , but they fire down the court less often. The Nuggets relish it.
He has scored more than 14.5 points in four of seven postseason games this year, and before that he had cleared it in 10 of his last 12 regular season games.: Covers may receive advertising commissions for visits to a sportsbook or betting siteWithout Paul, Phoenix was just 12-11 straight-up this season, compared to 33-26 with him. The failure comes defensively, with the Suns’ defensive rating jumping to 115.7 without him from 113.2 with him, per statmuse.com.
Again, depth is a concern. Without Paul’s tenacious defense, Phoenix must turn to Booker for more on-ball work, and to Shamet and Lee for more overall action. Those are not winning tactics in the postseason, and they help explain why this line fell from opening at -5.5 in the Suns’ favor on Tuesday morning to -4 on Thursday, with nearly two days spent at -3.5 in the interim.
