Yet another must win game.

We win this game and I have a good feeling that we finish 6th seed. After losing to Spurs without Wemby I never expected us to beat Nuggets & Pels on the road, But now we only trail the Pelicans by a full game with us owning the tiebreaker.

Must win, however I feel a L is on the way. That's the 23/24 suns for you, it's not our season

Get ready for the Vogel/KD soundbites about how we must get better, even though there's about 5 games left in the season

not that I think this would even motivate us, but if we win tonight and the Magic beat the Pels (which is certainly possible), we can get back into 6th.

which is another way to say see you guys later tonight when we're still in 8th

Donovan Mitchell didn't play yesterday against the Jazz to be available tonight. Garland and him are a tough backcourt but we can take some advantage of their lack of size.

I am positive about this one because Booker looked amazing in the last one, he was having an slump for the last couple of weeks. If he is at his best we are a much better team, no doubt about it.

Hope that lights a spark up Book's ass, I'd almost prefer that given if Mitchell was out that Merrell would probably light us up for 8x3's, story of our season

This is an important game for the Cavs as well if they want to try and move up to the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference. They could theoretically drop down to a play-in game spot if everything goes wrong for them towards the end of the season. So, while we know this is important for the Suns, I think it's equally as important for the Cavs, so I expect a hard-fought game from both sides.

Suns:
Grayson Allen QUESTIONABLE.
Damion Lee OUT.

Cavs:
Dean Wade OUT.
Isaac Okoro OUT.

They haven't played that well lately. They have lost 5 out of their last 8 and 8 out of their last 13. Lost to some bad teams in there too.

We absolutely cannot get a defensive three in the key violation. If we do, we may be subject to some cringe-level second-hand embarrassment from Jarret Allen.

Magic 91 Pelicans 76 end of 3rd Q

Suns better not disappoint us knowing the Magic are close to beating the Pels. But with this Phoenix team anything is possible.
