Orlando will be missing Vucevic which is a huge sigh of relief since Baynes is out. Would be nice if Monty actually started Diallo (illness - probable) over Kaminsky and let Frank play with the bench unit instead.

Orlando played last night in a close one with Washington. Fournier and Isaac played 35 & 37 minutes while Gordon played 32 mins. Fournier’s been balling while Fultz is finally starting to resemble an NBA starting caliber player.

Suns should be able to win this especially with Orlando on 2nd night of a b2b but Boston beat us pretty badly when we had many days off and they came in on the 2nd night of a b2b not too long ago.

Should be a close tight game either way. Go Suns!

The Wizards came off a B2B too when they beat the suns in the valley. I don't think we've beaten an opponent coming off the 2nd night of a B2B yet this season

Magic are the 2nd worst 3pt shooting team in the entire league averaging 31% per game from deep. Hope we don’t go back to giving up wide open 3s to help them raise those percentages.

I'm actually more scared of wide open drives into the Frank Kaminski 'protected' paint.

I'd rather let them take the 3 than to put out the red carpet for a nice easy stroll to the rim.

I'll take door #4 easily.

I'm not sure how we guard their frontline of Birch, Gordon and Isaac effectively. Bamba will probably play some too. We need to play Diallo a lot.

I'm sure Rubio will fluster Fultz and we can stick Oubre or Bridges on Fournier (though Booker will probably be on him because those guys' length will probably be needed against Isaac and/or Gordon.

We really need to team rebound.

Monty’s gotta have Diallo play a lot of minutes tonight so we get less Kaminsky.

Keep an eye on Fultz, he played a terrific game yesterday and he is slowly getting better and better.

His overall numbers don't say how good he is playing lately.

Please only 4-5 minutes of Saric and Kaminsky at the start of the game and then be done with it!!

I know exactly how well his #s have been lately as I have him in fantasy and have been making sure to start him. I know he's playing well but I just think Rubio will make things tougher for him than most PGs do.

Saric misses more layups than anyone I've ever seen.

If Fultz even turns into half of what people thought he would be they will have ended up with a couple of nice players from that draft...probably my two favorite at the time in Isaac and Fultz.

Who will be the Suns hero?
