Rotation #555
Nuggets +3 over Suns (win)
Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will show up tonight, but it’s easier to consistently ask them to win games with the help of role players single-handedly. Chirs Paul remains out. Deandre Ayton is battling a rib injury. Denver is the healthier team that is getting points from role players and not leaning only on the play of Nikola Jokic. As the series progresses, the more in-depth team has a considerable advantage. Take the Nuggets.

Rotation #957
Rays -110 over Yankees (win)
Rausmussen/German
It’s been a down year for the Yankees. Tampa, on the other hand, had the hottest start in MLB history. New York has power hitters but only a little more. Tampa has it all, as they can also play small ball. Drew Rasmussen doesn’t give up a lot of home runs, so he should keep the Yankees’ offense in check tonight. Take the Rays.
