Thursday the Suns play the second of back-to-back games this time against the Celtics in Boston.

This will be the third game of their five game road trip with the Nets and Knicks yet to come.

Celtics are 31-27 and 8-2 in their last ten games although they lost to the Bulls on Monday.

Suns are 42-16 and have won the first two games of their Eastern Conference trip.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona.

It's another 4 p.m. Arizona start time.

No injury report for the Suns. We won't likely know anything until tomorrow.

This was the last information regarding Jae Crowder.

Lol I'm still recovering from that 76ers almost miracle shot miss by embid....

This will be a very hard 1 to win sure the player's are exhausted from tough 76ers and bucks gm traveling

Hope the right suns team shows up fingers crossed

Also hope ayton continues his solid play and the good saric returns...

Go suns!!!

Third game in 4 nights. One was an OT game and last night was a very physical game against Philly. The starters are probably beat down.

this might be a game I rest CP3 and take my chances for a loss. The bench is going to be more rested and the starters are not going to be fresh anyway.

Give Galloway and ETwan some burn tonight. We might lose, but

I think we lose this game. Team has to be tired. Expect to see a lot of 3 point misses. I’d throw a lot of turnovers in there too if it weren’t for the fact that Paul is just so damn locked-in right now. A 9.57/0.43 assist/turnover ratio over 7 ain’t no joke! Think about that fir a second, for every single turnover Paul has handed out 22.3 assists. Absurd. I’m surprised that’s not getting more play around the league.

I agree about Chris Paul but I'm not thinking about losing, at least that's not my mindset.

Celtics will be down some players. Still no word on Jae Crowder.

The Suns having two players with ankle sprains in a condensed road trip is not good news.

Maybe we see Frank tonight with Crowder out. Again. I think we should rest CP3 tonight, maybe Book too. It's likely a loss, but our bench is capable of winning a game like this.

Book isn't going to rest on a night he's playing in an arena where he once scored 70. No way.

If Dario is out then Frank will definitely play.

I wish the Suns would be more clear about Nader's status. It continues to conjure up memories of Oubre's and Warren's last season with the Suns.

on a back to back and 3rd game in 4 nights, I won’t shed a tear if Jaylen Brown can’t play.

would be great to jump out to a 3-0 start on the 7 game death match, especially with a couple days off after tonight before a Brooklyn/Knicks double dip to end the trip.

The Suns have cut themselves short of big men all season. It's my greatest frustration with the way the team is built.

If pauls plays over 30 min every game and the Suns sweep the East. They are trying to make a statement for some reason. Do we have some egos

This is where I am at. This is a winnable game especially if Jaylen Brown is out.
