Stat Salt: Take the Suns to cover in Game 6 vs. Nuggets
Paul Biagiolo writes: "The home team has won every game in this playoff series, and there is not reason to think that will stop now. Even without CP3, the Suns still have two of the best perimeter scorers in the league. Devin Booker has taken on some point guard and playmaking responsibility, he had 12 assists in the Game 4 win at home. Booker can handle the ball when necessary, and still allow Durant the opportunity to do his work on the wing. DeAndre Ayton just needs to have an average game, and allow the two star wings to take over. Jokic had 53 points in Game 4, and still lost, as Booker and Durant each had 36. Denver has not been nearly as good on the road all season, and are only 1-3 on the road in the postseason, including a loss in Minnesota. This series will go to Game 7 as Booker and Durant will not go down at home."

Pick Dawgz: Go with the Suns to cover vs. Nuggets in Game 6
Randy Chambers writes: "The Denver Nuggets are the better deeper team and getting free points with them is attractive. However, as I said in my game 5 write up, this feels like a series where the home team wins each game until the seventh effort, where anything can happen. So far, the road team hasn't been able to really even keep games close. The only reason to think that changes here is that Booker and Durant continue to log insane minutes, and eventually they could fold playing every other day. Still, I'll continue to back the home teams in this series. Give me the Suns and the reasonable chalk."
Play Picks: Bet the Nuggets with the points in Game 6 vs. Suns

A total of 41 times so far this season, Phoenix and its opponent have combined to score more than 226.5 points."
