Suns Reveal Starters vs Warriors
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have a massive game coming up in short order.
The Suns are set to play the Golden State Warriors in a primetime duel set to tip off in approximately 30 minutes - and the Suns just announced the five starters for an obvious litmus test game.
The Suns/Warriors have each won 4 of their last 5 games - both teams coincidentally lost to the Atlanta Hawks during the recent stretch.
Head coach Frank Vogel opted for a group that Suns fans have become accustomed to over the last month:
Devin Booker
Bradley Beal
Grayson Allen
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic
The Suns are set to welcome newcomers Royce O'Neale and David Roddy to the lineup tonight, as well as gladly re-inserting Devin Booker into the lineup after one missed game due to injury.
O'Neale could eventually find his way into the starting lineup, but it's certainly understandable to keep the group that has built an immense rhythm together for now.
O'Neale joins Eric Gordon, Drew Eubanks, and Bol Bol as players coming off of the bench that have been playing a strong brand of basketball as of late.
Warriors' head coach Steve Kerr went with a starting unit of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and Draymond Green in an effort to try to contain the Suns' potent offense.
Suns-Warriors is set to be a primetime broadcast that will be shown exclusively on ABC.
Phoenix heads back home for two games before the week-long All-Star break begins - this starting five will look to make the most of this premier game on the road.
