The Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns faced off in a matchup of two very healthy teams in Game 1. It's been a breath of fresh air compared to the playoffs that fans have been getting this season.

The Nuggets only had one player listed on the injury report for Game 2. Collin Gillespie is out with a lower leg injury that's kept him out for the season.

The Phoenix Suns have no one listed on the injury report and are good to go fully healthy.

The Suns are fresh off of an exciting series against an LA Clippers team that was missing both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. The Lakers just faced off against an injured Grizzlies team. The Celtics are facing off against an injured 76ers team. The list goes on and on during these playoffs with how many injured teams there are. That's why with a series like this, where both teams are relatively healthy, fans need to appreciate it. These types of playoff battles don't come often in the modern NBA and should be celebrated.

The Denver Nuggets convincingly took Game 1 against the Phoenix Suns and seem to legitimately overpower them with their depth. The Suns were able to barely handle the shorthanded LA Clippers without their two stars, but the story already looks different against the Denver Nuggets.

If the Nuggets take down the Phoenix Suns in Game 2, it'll put them at a commanding 2-0 advantage. The Phoenix Suns are 0-13 all-time when trailing by 2-0 in a best-of-seven series.
