They also play at the Cavaliers on Tuesday and Hawks on Wednesday before returning home to play the Knicks on Friday.

Thunder are 21-42 and only 1-9 in their last ten games but beat the Celtics at Boston on April 27th.

They play the Pacers later today.

Suns are 45-18 and have won their last three games. They are 7-3 in their last ten games.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona Plus.

Start time is scheduled for 5 p.m. Arizona time.

Jae Crowder remains OUT as does Abdel Nader.

Cam Johnson is PROBABLE.

Cam Payne is QUESTIONABLE.

Jazz beat the Raptors yesterday so the Suns are in second place in the West .5 games back because Utah has one more win.

Also Nuggets are now in second place with the Clippers in third place.

If the Cam Payne can't go, I'm curious if we'll get to see E'twan Moore get some run.

It's hard to say. Langston Galloway played a few minutes in a couple of games in April.

Moore hasn't played since March 13th.

Just win. Let everything else take care of itself.

Bubble—check
Regular season—getting close

then we worry about playoffs. I have been thinking about playoff matchups but it might be better for this team to just keep building on success. Still, need to rest players to avoid injury.

Is Abdel Nader off the list now? I didn't see him mentioned.

Also, I remember at the beginning of the season one of the Suns reporters said he had us 4th in the Western Conference and everyone got on his case for being out of touch, etc. The season isn't over yet, but I am thinking he has some serious street cred right now!! :)

He just had surgery. Probably done for the year.

Man. OTC, Just reading the Cards board. Glad I am here most of the time. Just depressing.

For me personally the NFL draft is not really something to get too worked up about. It's anyone's guess as to who will actually pan out in the NFL. The NBA draft seems to be easier to predict success and even that feels like a guess most of the time.

Nothing official but it looks like Cam Payne and Cam Johnson will be okay to play.

Pokusevski is questionable.
