Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 24, 2026

Denver's two-point road win fit a familiar recent pattern: the Nuggets have now won all three head-to-head matchups this season against Phoenix, with the latest 125-123 decision keeping their edge in a series where they've outscored the Suns by a combined 18 points across three meetings. The combined total of 248 sailed past the 233.5 market opening, landing over by 14.5 points and marking another high-scoring affair between these conference rivals.

The game hinged on the third quarter, when the teams combined for 68 points—the highest-scoring frame of the night. Denver's 30 points in that stretch, paired with Phoenix's 38, pushed the momentum late, though Phoenix stayed within striking distance. Nikola Jokić orchestrated the win with a triple-double: 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 17 assists, while Jamal Murray added 21 points and 6 assists. For the Suns, Devin Booker recorded 22 points and 8 assists, and both Jalen Green (21 points, 6 rebounds) and Grayson Allen (21 points) kept Phoenix competitive through the finish.

The first and second halves each totaled 124 combined points, a mirror image that belied the back-and-forth nature of the contest. Denver's ability to win on the road despite matching Phoenix's 28 fourth-quarter points underscored their recent offensive advantage over the Suns. DAGGER's live call missed, as the ceiling proved higher than expected against these two prolific offenses.
