Suns vs. Nuggets is a Conference Finals-type matchup in the second round of the playoffs.
Not only is it a showdown between two of the best teams in the Western Conference this season, but there is no shortage of star power with Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic facing off.
It'll mark the third time the two franchises have battled in the postseason, the most recent coming in 2021 when the Suns swept the Nuggets in the second round. Denver was without Murray in that series due to an ACL injury. Could he be the difference this time around?
