Suns Make Surprise Change to Starting Lineup vs Clippers
The Phoenix Suns finish their second night of a back-to-back against the Los Angeles Clippers.
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns hope to rebound in major fashion tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Here's Frank Vogel's starting lineup to get back on track:
Bradley Beal
Devin Booker
Royce O'Neale
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic
The biggest change is Royce O'Neale in the lineup rather than Grayson Allen.
The Suns regain starting center Jusuf Nurkic from a sprained right ankle, which forced him out of action in last night's loss vs. Los Angeles.
With just three games remaining in the regular season, Phoenix holds the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference and hope to avoid the play-in tournament. The Clippers are the four-seed and trail the three-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder by just one game.
Los Angeles is winners of the previous three meetings with Phoenix this season and hope to complete the series sweep tonight, though that may prove to be difficult. The likes of Russell Westbrook, Paul George, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard are all out due to injury tonight.
Damion Lee was the only other Suns player listed on the injury report as he remains out due to meniscus surgery recovery.
"It is just about playing each game. We are just taking the game one possession at a time and focusing on the next game. Wherever we end up is where we end up," said Durant after Phoenix dropped consecutive games for the first time in over a month.
Suns-Clippers is set for a 7:30 PM Arizona Time tip.
