The Suns have cooled off slightly from their 5-1 start, going 3-4 since the last time these two teams faced each other. Still, they’re strong on both ends, sitting eighth in net rating at 2.9. Phoenix also remains one of the favorites in the Western Conference to reach the postseason, a place it hasn’t been since the 2009-10 season.  Denver is 5-3 in its last eight games and when this team is winning games, it’s usually down to focusing on the defensive end. In its five victories in that span, the team is posting a 101.6 defensive rating (10th). In the three losses, that number balloons up to 118.7 (22nd).
