Suns are right back at it on Tuesday playing the 76ers in the second of back-to-back games.

After this game the Suns only have one game left in the season (Dallas on Thursday) unless they qualify for the play-in.

76ers (42-28) are 3-2 in Orlando but they lost their last outing on Sunday to Portland 124-121.

Suns (32-39) are 6-0 in the bubble. They beat the Thunder 128-101 on Monday.

The game will be televised on FSAZ.

Start time is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Arizona time.

The 76ers will reportedly be without Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Josh Richardson.

From Arizona Sports:


The Philadelphia 76ers will face Phoenix on Tuesday without their two best players, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, as well as starting shooting guard Josh Richardson.

The team ruled Embiid out of the Suns game due to a left ankle sprain suffered Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Richardson, who scored 34 points to lead Philadelphia on Sunday, will not play due to rest, reports The Athletic’s Derek Bodner.

I'm sure it'll come up here today, the Blazers play the Mavericks at 3:30pm. According to Carlisle it looks like Porzingis and Luka will play as that's a nationally televised game. They sat for rest yesterday. Not guaranteed they'll play but I definitely interpreted it that way based on Carlisle's comments on it.

Grizzlies play Boston at 2pm, so it should finish not long after our game and before the Blazers game.

Here is an updated injury report. If Harris or Horford doesn't play that's some extra help for the Suns.

Looks like the entire starting lineup is out for the Sixers.

I know we desperately need the W and I’m just happy to watch a meaningful suns game after a decade and there’s no guarantee we win, but playing them without their entire starting lineup takes a little juice out of the game.

With our very young team we can only hope it doesn't take too much juice out of their game too.

Of course the Suns need to win but they need to think about resting their players if they get the opportunity.

Dallas is coming up Thursday and there is the possibility of qualifying for a play-in.

Suns could be playing lots of games going forward without much rest.

Suns better not take thus lightly 76ers young players might want to prove themselves against a balling suns team.

Still nervous on this gm

Let's see what baynes can do

Go suns

For those following it closely. The Spurs beat the Rockets.

No way, this is it. They have to win no matter what. If sitting Booker means we lose then it doesn’t matter that we sat anybody.

If we are eliminated then sure, but we don’t have the luxury of resting players. Portland sure isn’t.

Ayton looks ready to play today with 4 quick points.
