The Phoenix Suns will still be slightly shorthanded heading into Game 4, but both teams will be very healthy heading into tonight.

The Denver Nuggets do not have a single player listed on their injury report. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the entire Denver Nuggets team will be available for Game 4 tonight.

Chris Paul is the only player listed on the injury report for the Phoenix Suns. Paul has been missing since Game 2 with a left groin strain. Despite his absence, the Suns found a way to win Game 3 by getting another amazing Devin Booker game, accompanied by contributions from the bench.

If there's one thing that the Phoenix Suns learned in Game 3, it's that they have more depth that they can use in the playoffs. TJ Warren was a key player in the win but wasn't receiving much playing time for the entire playoffs before that. For Denver, much of their struggles came from the poor shooting of both Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon. Murray has been spectacular these playoffs, and bad games happen. 

In Game 4, the Nuggets may want to utilize Jokic more than they did in Game 3. Murray had 29 shots in Game 3, while Jokic had only 19. No one on the Phoenix Suns roster can handle Nikola Jokic, and the Nuggets should look to it more. In addition, the Nuggets just need to be better in the non-Jokic minutes. It's easier said than done, but that's going to be the difference maker in the Denver Nuggets being a championship team.
