The Suns have punched their ticket to the second round, but they face a tall order in taking down the top-seeded Denver Nuggets. After dispatching the Clippers in a high-scoring Game 5, Phoenix looks to dethrone a Nuggets' squad led by Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets' superstar has taken notice of the Suns' talent, singling them out as the favorites to win it all. However, the Suns' impressive line-up, including Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton, could swing the series in their favor. The teams split their four-game regular-season series, with injuries and lineup changes factoring in. Therefore, this semi-final showdown represents the first time these Western Conference powers will be at full strength, adding another layer of intrigue to the matchup. The best individual performer in this series, whether Booker, Durant, Jokic, or Murray, could be the deciding factor in who advances. With such an impressive stable of talent on the court, the Suns' bid to dethrone the top-seeded Nuggets is more than just a hopeful possibility. It is simply a must-see matchup.
