The Knicks (as mentioned above) are on a 9 game winning streak with victories against 5 playoff teams including the Lakers and the Mavs. This is not the matchup I'd want given that we are a little shorthanded and playing our 5th road game in 8 days. The Knicks are very physical, if we don't (or can't) match their physicality it could be a long night.

 

[Covert Rain]

Once again would like to see the Suns punish a team after a tough loss.

 

[Yuma]

Yep! It's amazing how long we went without losing two in a row. Time to nip this losing streak in the bud!

One of my favorite NBA players is KD. Why couldn't he stay injured one more game????

 

[Proximo]

They need this to be a win.

I don't want to go into the Clippers game on a 3 game losing streak.

Per NBA injury report for Suns:

Jae Crowder, Dario Saric, Abdel Nader and Langston Galloway are OUT.

Cam Johnson is AVAILABLE.

Agree this will be a tough match up for the Suns.

Randle, Noel, Toppin, Barrett, Rose and Gibson will go right at the Suns inside.

Ugh I'm already not getting a good vibe on this 1...

Just thank god suns beat 76ers bucks....

Lol doesn't sound like a good matchup for ayton....

Lol doesn't sound like a good matchup for ayton....

he’s bigger than every one of those guys, most of them by three inches. He should be able to dominate a smaller front line.

that said, I don’t have a good feeling about this game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lol doesn't sound like a good matchup for ayton....

Suns might want to consider starting Craig next to Ayton.

 

[mjb21aztd]

I like that idea craig is a decent rebounder defense

Suns might want to consider starting Craig next to Ayton.

I wanted this since the Embiid game.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Welp 1hr till tip let the dice roll....

Just really wanting suns to play competitively not get blown out

Bong hit time in 50 min for gl stress lol

 

[Mainstreet]

I wanted this since the Embiid game.

At least while Crowder is out. There may be a reason Monty starts Crowder over Craig.

 

[Mainstreet]

Craig will start at power forward tonight. He will be tasked with guarding Randle.

 

[Mainstreet]

Let's finish the road trip like we started it... with a win. Let's go 3-2.
