PHOENIX — After nearly two months of struggles, the Phoenix Suns find themselves in a challenging situation as they entered the week with a 16-19 record, following a Tuesday night defeat to the Charlotte Hornets, who they face again tonight.
Despite the recent loss, the strategic adjustment in the starting lineup by coach Mike Budenholzer appears promising, as this new configuration has secured three victories in the past week.
The Suns aim to persist with the current lineup, which has shown more positives than negatives, in hopes of propelling themselves towards playoff contention.
Tonight’s starters include:
- Tyus Jones
- Devin Booker
- Ryan Dunn
- Kevin Durant
- Mason Plumlee
Jones significantly impacted the previous game, finishing with a +10 in his 26 minutes on the court, despite not scoring.
Booker continues to excel, posting his second 30-point game of the month after scoring 39 points against Charlotte on Tuesday. His shooting efficiency has been on the rise, and he is looking to maintain this momentum.
Dunn and Plumlee have added a much-needed burst of energy and athleticism to the lineup, with Dunn particularly standing out.
Dunn, the rookie first-round pick from Virginia, has been impressively handling tough defensive assignments and showing potential as a spot-up shooter, despite some inconsistencies.
Durant has consistently performed well this season for the Suns and could enter the MVP discussion if the team can accumulate more victories over the next month.
The game between the Suns and the Hornets is scheduled to start just after 7 P.M. Arizona time tonight.
