Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns

On Monday night, the Denver Nuggets completely embarrassed the Phoenix Suns with a 27-point win. It was a night of great frustration for both Suns fans and their players. Tonight on Christmas, the Suns will either redeem themselves or fall deeper into their frustration.

Both the Nuggets and Suns were missing their star guards in their first matchup on Monday; Jamal Murray was missing from the Nuggets and Devin Booker was missing from the Suns. Both players are listed on the injury report again tonight. When it comes to injury health, the Nuggets should have the advantage tonight.

The Nuggets have three players listed on their injury report: Jamal Murray, Vlatko Cancar and DaRon Holmes II.

Jamal Murray is currently questionable with a right ankle sprain. He missed the Nuggets’ last game against the Suns on Monday.

Vlatko Cancar is out as he rehabs his left knee after surgery, and DaRon Holmes II is out as he repairs his right Achilles tendon. Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon are both listed as available.
