Ayton, Holmes and Crawford are all questionable for the Timberwolves game.

I think Booker played far too many minutes in a blowout loss for a team that’s playing right back again tomorrow.

I suppose the Suns should play Bender and Anderson tonight. They aren't gonna defend anyone, so they might as well try to outshoot them. One of them might find their shot.

Oh dear lord and we thought games with those two playing were like layup drills...

Perhaps Melton will not be starting.

Bender guarding Towns, what could possibly go wrong.

Suns should have went afte Alan Williams immediately after his deal in China got cancelled.

Leander and Chambers say Crawford will be available as does Rankin.

Another reason to watch. Quincy Acy may score his first basket of the season tonight.

I am going to regret saying this within the first six minutes of the game, but I am kind of excited for this game. They can run five shooters out there and just bomb from three.

Bender is doing a good job on defense thus far.

Bender playing solid D, but he just picked up his second foul. He should have let that one go. Let the guard get a layup when you are the only Center on the roster for the night and you are playing against KAT. His defense on KAT has been very good.
