Wednesday the Suns play the second night of back-to-back games. This time they play the Bulls after beating the Hawks 117-110 on Tuesday night.

Bulls are 19-26 and have lost their last four games but in a trade deadline deal, they acquired Nikola Vucevic.

Suns are 32-14 winning their last three games after stubbing their toe against the Magic in Orlando.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona changing from FSAZ.

Game time is listed at 7 p.m. Arizona time.

Hopefully Jae Crowder should be ready to go but this note from the Hawks game on Tuesday.

We’ve got a run of the Bulls, OKC and Houston that we need to tear through. I don’t care if the wins are pretty or pretty ugly. This is the part of the schedule we need to make some hay as it only gets much tougher down the stretch.

Surging Suns set to face slipping Bulls
The Phoenix Suns will shoot for their second win in as many nights, and their seventh in eight games, when they host the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.

Phoenix is coming off a 117-110 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday that included a team-high 21 points from Devin Booker. Dario Saric contributed 20 points off the bench and Jae Crowder scored 19 while shooting 5 of 8 from 3-point range.

It was the third win in a row for Phoenix, which sits in second place in the Western Conference standings behind only the Utah Jazz.

Houston, San Antonio, Portland, Lakers, Phoenix, Minnesota, Toronto, OKC, Chicago, NY, Sac, NO, Detroit, Brooklyn, Memphis, Milwaukee, Boston, Orlando, Charlotte, Denver, Miami, LAC, Atlanta, Cleveland, Indiana, Dallas, Golden State, Utah, Philadelphia, Washington

3-5 are Portland, Lakers, Suns
Denver 20
Clippers 22
Jazz 28

It is fun to see the graph and all of the Suns icons on the "Difficult" side of the ledger!


Not looking good for Houston and San Antonio LOL

Jazz have the best record and one of the easier remaining. I dont think anyone catches them, lets hope we can spoil their year come the playoffs.

I know but only the name has changed and I can't find either

Did you get either channel prior to tonight? It might not be available on YouTube TV.

Perhaps some other posters can help.

Bulls are going big against the Suns. They are going to challenge the Suns size upfront.
