Suns Reveal Starters vs Celtics
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns look to keep themselves in the win column as the Boston Celtics play host tonight.
Frank Vogel is calling upon this starting lineup to do so:
Devin Booker
Bradley Beal
Grayson Allen
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic
The Suns - winners of their last three-of-four heading into Thursday - are 38-27 with possession of the West's No. 7 seed approaching tonight. Boston could become the East's first team to secure a spot in the postseason with a win as the Celtics sit atop the conference at 51-14.
They've lost just three home games all season.
The Suns previously ruled out Eric Gordon (knee), Josh Okogie (ab strain) and Damion Lee (meniscus surgery).
For Boston, Jaylen Brown (left hip contusion) is available while Kristaps Porzingis (right hamstring strain) is out.
Porzingis previously missed Saturday's battle vs Phoenix, though Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla says Porzingis’ hamstring strain is progressing well.
“Don’t have an official timeline, but he’s getting better and better," Mazzulla said pre-game.
Without Booker, the Suns narrowly lost to the Celtics in 117-107 fashion on Saturday after drawing the lead to as little as three in the late stages of the fourth quarter after being down by as much as 15 in the contest.
Suns-Celtics will tip at just past 4:30 PM Arizona time.
