The Phoenix Suns recorded a 104-103 home win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, but I think they'll struggle here playing on no rest in high altitude in Denver. The Nuggets will be looking to open the new year with a victory after closing out 2017 with back-to-back defeats to Philadelphia and Minnesota. The Nuggets will be well rested and they're 35-15-2 ATS in their last 52 games playing on three or more days rest. We can also note that they've covered the spread in six straight meetings with the Suns. Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings and I expect Denver to prevail in a high-scoring affair.

My selection is an 8* play on Denver Nuggets.
