Suns Reveal Starters vs Pistons
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns are looking to go into the All-Star break in the win column tonight against the Detroit Pistons.
The Suns knew they would be going into tonight's game without star G Bradley Beal - who tweaked his hamstring in last night's victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Head coach Frank Vogel was tasked with finding Beal's replacement in the lineup tonight, and the replacement - and the replacement was found in sixth man Eric Gordon.
The lineup otherwise remained constant.
Devin Booker
Eric Gordon
Grayson Allen
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic
This will be the final time that Booker and Durant will be seen prior to the All-Star break - both players will suit up for the Western Conference All-Star team in Indianapolis on Sunday night.
The break also comes at a great time for Beal - the Suns' x-factor is battling through a nasal fracture along with the hamstring injury suffered early in the game last night.
The Suns will also continue to look to find ways to integrate key bench pieces such as Royce O'Neale and the recently revitalized Josh Okogie into lineups that feature immense scoring talent.
Pistons head coach Monty Williams started the game with the same group from their loss to the L.A. Lakers last night - Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Simone Fontecchio, Ausar Thompson, and Jalen Duren.
Pistons-Suns is set for tip off in approximately 30 minutes and will be broadcast locally on Arizona's Family.
