If you\u2019re checking the\u00a0Super Bowl line<\/a>, you\u2019ll see that most think it\u2019ll be a shootout between Indianapolis and New Orleans. However, you can pretty much guarantee one on Wednesday night in the NBA, when Phoenix heads to Denver in a clash of two explosive teams.<\/p>\n Suns vs Nuggets odds \u2013 Wednesday, February 3, 10:30 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n The Suns have won three in a row, including the first two of a four-game road swing in Houston and New Orleans. Amare Stoudamire is continuing to fill the net while everyone else debates where he\u2019ll end up prior to the trade deadline. Stoudamire is a member of this year\u2019s free-agent class, and is expected to sign elsewhere, but where else would he have a point guard like Steve Nash, and a system that allows him to do whatever he wants? We\u2019re\u00a0betting management<\/a> is hopeful that he\u2019s thinking the same.<\/p>\n The Nuggets have won four of their last five games without Carmelo Anthony, as the NBA scoring leader has an ankle injury. He could be back in time for this game, but it\u2019s not too likely. Denver should be the online betting favorites in your sportsbook on Wednesday, as the Suns have lost five in a row in Denver, and they\u2019ve been disappointing on the road despite winning two straight. The Nuggets feed off the crowd at the Pepsi Center, and it has resulted in Denver winning 22 of their first 25 games at home this season. Denver won their December 12th<\/sup> home meeting with the Suns by a score of 105-99, one of the few times this year that Phoenix has been held under 100 points. The Nuggets\u2019 trio of big guys, Martin, Nene and Chris Andersen, will team up to keep Stoudamire quiet (he had 13 points in the last meeting), and the Nuggets have shown that they\u2019re a better bet to make a key defensive stop when they need to than the Suns, especially at home.<\/p>\n![\"Sports](\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250g-sportsbook.gif\")
Still, the Nuggets have stayed on track due to the steady hand of Chauncey Billups at the point, and Kenyon Martin has found something in his game with 25.5 points over his last two outings. If the Nuggets could only be more consistent on defense, it would really boost their chances to face, and even defeat, the Lakers in the playoffs.<\/p>\n
