The Denver Nuggets lead the Northwest Division by one game over the Utah Jazz and tonight must travel to Phoenix to face the Suns. Both teams come into this game coming off a Sunday loss. Denver dropped a 95-89 game to the Los Angeles Lakers, while Phoenix fell 113-110 to the San Antonio Spurs.

It has been over a month since Phoenix has dropped back-to-back games. Before yesterday’s loss the Suns have won 13 of their previous 14 games. Denver on the other hand has not lost two consecutive games since late-December.

Phoenix has dominated this series at home winning nine straight times since a 111-96 loss April 7, 2004. In those wins they averaged 120.0 points and shot 50.7 percent from the field.

These teams have split two meetings in Colorado this season, with the Suns losing 105-99 on Dec. 12 and winning 109-97 on Feb. 3. Anthony's 32-point effort in December stands as the highest-scoring individual performance in the season series.

Here is a pair of trends to consider; Denver is just 1-9 against the number when the line is between +3 to -3 while Phoenix has covered 10 of their 12 second half games.
