Will the Denver Nuggets be Able to Put up a Fight without Four Starters Against the Phoenix Suns?

On Friday night, the Phoenix Suns will go head to head with the Denver Nuggets without four of the Nuggets' starters. Nikola Jokic, the team's two-time MVP, is out with right calf tightness, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. will sit out because of injuries to their heel, knee, and calf, respectively. The Suns, who are healthy and have won six games in a row, are expected to have an easy victory over the battered Nuggets. Furthermore, the game gives the Suns a chance to experiment with different strategies since they will most likely face the Nuggets in the playoffs, and it will give them an advantage if they are able to exploit the Nuggets' weaknesses. While the Phoenix Suns can pick their poison with the Nuggets without the majority of their starters, the Nuggets will have to work extremely hard to secure a win. Nevertheless, the game could be an excellent opportunity for the Nuggets' bench players to showcase their talent against one of the best teams in the West.
