On a Wednesday day in the NBA where a total of 12 games will be played, Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns will face each other. The two Western Conference teams have very different playoff aspirations, and although they will have several absentees, the two main stars, Nikola Jokic and Kevin Durant, are expected to be available.

The Suns will be the visitors looking to redeem themselves from their tough loss against the San Antonio Spurs. The Arizona franchise is in dangerous territory, as they are currently 8th in the Western Conference with a 42-30 record, tied with the Sacramento Kings (7th), but with the Los Angeles Lakers (9th) getting closer and closer, now with a 40-32 record having won their last four games.

The Nuggets, meanwhile, remain at the top of the West with a 51-21 record. The Colorado franchise has won its last four games, which has allowed it to overtake the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are close behind with a current record of 50-21.
