[Mainstreet]

Suns wrap up back-to-back games with the Timberwolves on Friday.

Timberwolves improve to 10-31 after their win over the Suns on Thursday night.

Suns drop to 26-13 and fall to third place in the Western Conference standings and fifth in the league.

The game will again be televised on FSAZ.

Start time is 7 p.m. Arizona time.

No injury report as yet for Suns but it would be nice if Torrey Craig is available for the game.

I'm not expecting Cam Johnson to play.

Bridges inability to slow him down was a head scratcher for me.

I haven't heard anything yet but I'm hoping Torrey Craig will be available tonight.

I haven't seen Craig play much, but based on what I have seen of his stats and some highlights, I'm not quite sure why he would get time over Nader. Am I wrong?

I'm a fan of Nader but Craig is two inches taller and perhaps a better defender. If nothing else Craig gives the Suns another wing defender in addition to Bridges and Nader.

I mostly remember Craig making big plays in Denver such as this block on Devin Booker's shot.

Torrey Craig is with the team but I'm not sure if he will play.

Cam is putting up shots pregame which is good news but he hasn't been practicing with the team.

This tweet suggest Craig will not play tonight.

Nader has been on the injury report the last few days. If Craig is available tonight then it allows Nader to rest without leaving the Suns too short handed on the wing.

I think Nader is better than Craig also but I wouldn't have said that going into this season. Nader has been a pleasant surprise.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nearing time for tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jae Crowder continues to start.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Not crazy that Crowder keeps starting. Apparently Cam felt good enough to warm up so hopefully he’s back soon.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker throws lob to Ayton to get on scoreboard.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns going to Ayton early. He has 4 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder with a stupid foul on Towns driving for a layup. smh

 

[Joe Mama]

I better not see one sons running at Edwards on on the regular tonight. I would give him 8-10 feet until he proves he can get the outside shots consistently.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout. Wolves leading 20-19 and getting the shots they want.
