Jalen Green is finally healthy in his first season with the Phoenix Suns. He had lingering issues that kept him out of the lineup, but March is shaping up to be his first healthy month for Phoenix. He was at a different speed from everyone else on the court in SundayтАЩs 22 point win over Toronto, which was a back to back spot for Phoenix. Green has also flourished in his career against Denver, where he has scored 25 or more points in five out of his last six matchups against the Nuggets. Take his points over.
Since returning from injury, Devin Booker has averaged 28.5 points over his last 12 games. That included him scoring at least 30 points in four of his last seven games. As the Suns continue to play without Dillon Brooks (hand), Booker averaged 21.3 shot attempts and 8.0 free throw attempts over those 12 games. The Nuggets have the 10th-worst defensive rating in the league, which makes this over even more appealing for Booker.
