Nikola Jokic continues to dominate, coming off his 24th triple-double of the season, while Michael Porter Jr. has been on fire, scoring 30+ points in three consecutive games. Jamal Murray is expected to return after missing the last game, but Russell Westbrook remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

The Phoenix Suns (26-25) have struggled recently, losing three straight games, including a 31-point blowout against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kevin Durant's status is uncertain due to a left ankle sprain, and the team will rely on Nick Richards to fill the void left by Jusuf Nurkic's trade. Despite their recent struggles, the Suns have been solid at home, winning four of their last five games at Footprint Center.
