John Wallace doesn't get a lot of opportunities to play for the Phoenix Suns. Wallace made the most of it when Shawn Marion picked up three early fouls.

Wallace scored 15 of his season-high 23 points in the second quarter and Penny Hardaway finished with a triple-double to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 109-92 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.

Afterward, coach Scott Skiles said he had a premonition that Wallace would have a big game because of the matchups against the Nuggets.
