starters

gillespie grayson dillon oneale williams

there are 240 minutes in a game to cover with 5 players being on the floor

it's going to be hard for ott not to overplay our scorers who can create their own shot - gillespie grayson and dillon

Devin Booker is OUT. Jalen Green is QUESTIONABLE.

Better news than I thought for Green.

Some more details on Jalen Green's status:

----------------

Duane Rankin Arizona Republic Jan. 24, 2026, 8:21 a.m. MT:

Green had his hamstring wrapped after the game, but was walking around fairly normal considering how much the injury has limited him.

"It sucks,” Suns big Mark Williams said. “JG has done everything in his power, in his control to be back on the floor. Stuff behind the scenes a lot of people don't see. Hopefully it's not serious but it definitely sucks.”

seems our success - far as offense goes - usually comes with just a couple scorers going for 20+ points but at least 6 players in double figures

devin booker obviously has a lot to do with that - and we've seen grayson allen do the point book well until his defender relentlessly chases him around the court

its hard to get him the ball and once we do the double team comes - physical disrespectful double teams - you think book doesn't get calls?

gillespie can do it too - but teams know our defensive rotations now and can iso their primary scorer on gillespie - if helps comes we get stretched and compromised - this isn't a problem with oso dunn and goody on the floor - more when he's running with the starters

last but not least the streaky villain - who i adore - who's dunn a good job not getting techs with a target on his chest but i digress - if your shots not falling take it to the hole or pass the ball

and what's up with our early unwarranted shooting 3s before our offense even gets down court? oneale doesn't miss when he does it but now everybody thinks they can - not feeling that

might be a rough week but i think we have one of the best coaches in the game and im known to complain - lot of guys are going to have a chance to shine

I want Bouyea to get some minutes in this game. I actually think he is one of the better penetrators we have with Book and Jalen out.

Grayson and Gillespie both struggle with that to a degree. If we just pass it around at the top of the circle our offense does not run well at all.

for this to work we have to have a playoff mindset - complete focus for 4 quarters
I don't think that is the issue at all. I haven't seen a lack of effort all year.

To me the key is penetration, ball movement and shot making. If Dillion is shooting 20% again we probably have no chance.

Devin Booker will be reevaluated in a week for an ankle sprain.

Good news about Jalen, and about what I figured. Better to have him miss a game and be day-to-day then to have him push it and miss another month or so.

Wonder if maybe he need to just play every other game for a bit. Each time it's been the 2nd game back that he's had issues.
