The Suns play at the Kings tonight. Alex Len will have the task of guarding DeMarcus Cousins which will be a load. With Tyler Ennis, Archie Goodwin and T.J. Warren going to the D-League for three games, this may be the opportunity for Zoran Dragic to see action.

Tip-off: 8 p.m. (Phoenix time)TV: FSAZ

C: Alex Len … DeMarcus Cousins

PF: Markieff Morris … Jason Thompson

SF: P.J. Tucker … Rudy Gay

SG: Goran Dragic … Ben McLemore

PG: Eric Bledsoe … Darren Collison

Key Kings reserves: Omri Casspi, Reggie Evans, Ryan Hollins, Carl Landry, Ramon Sessions, Nik Stauskas, Derrick Williams.

If the Suns play well they may be able to take advantage of a Kings team missing a key player. DeMarcus Cousins will miss tonight's game.

Paul Coro @paulcoro · 54m 54 minutes ago

DeMarcus Cousins (illness), Ryan Hollins (funeral) and Ramon Sessions (lower back strain) are out for #SunsAtKings tonight.

Everyone else on the Kings will raise their game, the Suns will figure its a gimme... our favorite recipe for losing to a lesser team. At least its on the road, so that might be enough...

I really hope you're wrong but we've all seem it far too many times. I know it happens to all teams, it just seems to happen more often to us.

Dude is playing really well, rebounding, hustling for loose balls. Man if keeps improving he is going to be a star.Especially if he adds some bulk to that frame.

Agree. He is doing a lot of little things that bother the Kings.

He'll still be 21 when the NBA crowns a champion for this season so I'm pretty sure he'll add some bulk to his frame. He really seems to have the ideal frame for a big man. Everything with him will hinge on two things, his desire to improve and his health.

You're right. I completely forgot about his early battles with staying healthy.

I didn't intend to come across negatively on him though. I really think the sky is the limit for him and I'm just not going to worry too much about his health unless we're forced to.

Dragic has been missing some layups he normally makes.

Darren Collison was a nice acquisition by the Kings.

Miles and Len look great when they can play power forwards without any offensive game the entire game

The referees showed him a lot of patience when he could have easily gotten his second technical.
