Get ready to stay up late, folks, because we’ve got a late-night NBA showdown that’s going to be hotter than a habanero.

The Suns, who are currently 4.5 games back in the Western conference, are going to have to bring their A-game if they want to catch up to the Nuggets, who are just 0.5 games back.

The Suns are looking to bounce back from a brutal loss against OKL (110-0, yikes!), while the Nuggets are riding high off a 124-114 win against LAL.
