I think Denver is too good to get swept -- if it does, that could be it for Coach Michael Malone -- and Phoenix might have a bit of a letdown up 3-0. Malone is making two changes to his starting lineup as Monte Morris and Will Barton will enter the first five and Facundo Campazzo and Austin Rivers will head to the bench (where they belong honestly).

The Suns have dominated this series, winning each of the first three games by at least 14 points. Chris Paul has been one of the key reasons, as he's averaging 21.7 points and 11.3 assists thanks to the improved health of his shoulder. Denver's Nikola Jokic just doesn’t have enough firepower around him, with Jamal Murray (knee) out and Michael Porter Jr. battling through a back issue, so look for the Suns to close out this series and cover along the way.

The Suns have won six straight playoff games, including all three against Denver. Phoenix came out with a lot of energy after watching the Nuggets' big man receive his MVP trophy. Visiting teams have struggled when playing the second of back-to-back games at Pepsi Center. I think the Nuggets win outright with a much more aggressive game plan!
