The Nuggets took the first two games of the series before the Suns leveled the series 2-2 with their stint of home games.

Who will win tonight? Or if you're looking to take some prop bets, who will cash?

Three of the best props for Nuggets-Suns Game 5 to take from across the web:

Covers.com: Nikola Jokic UNDER 30.5 PTS

Jason Logan: "It’s truly a 'sell high' situation with Denver’s man in the middle, but the Phoenix Suns must clamp down on Jokic in some capacity if it wants to take the edge in this series. The dust up with Suns' owner Mat Ishbia on the sideline in Game 4 nearly took care of the problem, but kudos to Ishbia for lobbying the league not to suspend Jokic.

"Phoenix head coach Monty Williams is throwing more beef at Jokic with Deandre Ayton and Jock Landale sharing defensive duties. Landale played only 21 minutes in Game 4 and checked Jokic for just a short period, but held the Joker to 4 of 8 shooting and a turnover. Expect Jock to get inside Nikola's jock more often tonight as Phoenix searches for answers on defense."

Sporting News: Deandre Ayton OVER 12.5 PTS

Jovan Halford: "Ayton got outplayed in the past two games, but thankfully the Suns were able to win. However, if they want to take Game 5 tonight and ultimately win the series, Phoenix needs more from the 24-year-old center. Ayton is scoring 13.3 points per game in the postseason and has gone OVER 12.5 points in six out of nine games.

"The former Arizona standout played well in Games 1 and 2, dropping 14 points apiece, but in the past two games, he's only posted 12 total points. We know he has his hands full with Jokic on defense, but there isn't a reason why Ayton can't get his on the offensive end against a so-so defender."

Oddschecker: Kevin Durant OVER 31.5 PTS

Jason Radowitz: "Devin Booker and Kevin Durant aren't getting much help right now. The offense relies on these two.

"Durant has scored 32 points per game against the Nuggets and will be needed even more tonight, on the road, against the Nuggets. Durant has shot 46.9% from the field but just 25% from downtown.

"You'd expect him to shoot better from downtown moving forward. He went 2-for-4 in Game 4, shooting 50%. So there's progress for Durant.

"Durant has attempted 24 shots per game for the Suns and earned 29 free throws in the last two games. I'll take his Over too."
