First of all Gortat is out for 100%. He is in Poland with mother who is ill.
Nene is probably out too the same as Gooden.
Wittman probably start with the saviour - Ryan Hollins or try to play Hump as a C.
Don`t be surprised if wizards go with Wall-Beal-Temple-Porter-Dudley lineup. Ultra DC small ball.
Hard to gues which wizard team will show up against suns.

I like that Kieff's pic. Seems fitting.

Can't find any current news on him regarding his status. So, we'll probably find out later on on Twitter.

How the hell are the Wiz only 7-9 in the East!?

Wall's destroyed it over the last two games and I'm sure the Kentucky boys will be up for it.

Should be a lot of small-ball and they've got a HEAP of 3pt shooters with Beal, Porter, Dudley and Neal.

Need this win.

Why would we see Markieff as a starter every night? I am sick and tired of watching his play.

Wall has been pretty mediocre so far this season, with really garb shooting.

Tyson Chandler (hamstring strain) will miss a 4th consecutive game in #SunsAtWizards tonight. Markieff Morris (knee bruise) is questionable.

So, I go to check who will be favored in this game and opening line was Washington by 3, and it has moved 5 points to where Phoenix is now favored by 2. It takes HUGE amounts of cash to move Vegas lines that much. Either people think the Gortat missing the game is huge or somebody is REALLY high on the Suns. This is likely the experts betting large amounts moving things that much. Check out the other opening vs current lines. The only one that has moved by even more than one point is Cleveland spread moved down which means more people are taking the Pelicans in that game (that's kind of surprising too).

Damn, this sucks. The team looks so much more in disarray without him. At least Gortat is out too.

They are a weird team. They beat the Spurs, then didn't do much, then a couple of games ago, beat the Cavs by 12 in Cleveland, and then come home and lose to the Lakers, who had just lost to the Sixers. So their back is up against a wall as well.

Spoiler:

Jelly, I love your picture of Kieff there.

SunsRback4Good · Post #17 » by **SunsRback4Good** » Fri Dec 4, 2015 9:56 pm

Thank you. With the bench in the game opposing players should trip resulting in many Suns fast breaks. See, Kieff is some what helpful.

Good or bad news?

Markieff Morris (knee bruise) will play #SunsAtWizards tonight.

So Humphries, Gortat, Nene, Gooden and Chander is out. Kieff is playing. It will be some kind of small ball festival.

It is a shame that Markieff ( even when he was happy ) plays smaller than his size, because this game is a good opportunity to dominate inside.
Hopefully Hornacek plays Warren at least 30 minutes...without shot blockers he can finish a lot of plays near the rim.
