ESPN will host Friday’s NBA playoff matchup between the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets with tip off set for 10:00 p.m. ET. The game will take place at the Ball Arena in Denver.
If you aren’t around a TV to check out this second round NBA playoff matchup, you can stream the game via WatchESPN or the ESPN app. But keep in mind that you need a cable-login subscription. If you don’t have a cable login to access ESPN for a live stream, you can get a free trial from YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T TV Now, FuboTV, or Sling TV to stream the game.
The Suns continue to show they’re for real, taking a 2-0 lead over the Nuggets heading into Game 3. Chris Paul has emerged as a leader for Phoenix’s young group. Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton aren’t shying away from the moment. This team looks capable of going to the Finals.
The Nuggets have the league MVP in Nikola Jokic, but haven’t been able to find enough production around him in two losses. As the series shifts to Denver, expect Mike Malone to find ways to get other guys involved early to take pressure of Jokic. Ultimately, it’ll still be up to the MVP to drag the Nuggets back into the series.
