Preview: Warriors Begin Huge Home Slate for Suns

The Phoenix Suns (12-10) enter a key stretch of their season in the next two weeks - the team has dropped four of five after a seven-game win streak that preceded.

The Suns play all four games at home in the next seven days- three against teams in the playoff hunt at this stage.

This week also marks several reunions, a jersey retirement ceremony, among many other intriguing prospects.

A sample of the four games ahead:

Tuesday vs Golden State

This game marks the last time that Chris Paul will visit Phoenix this season after an untimely ejection when the teams played on Nov 21.

The Golden State Warriors will come into the game at 10-12, and have struggled to gain any real traction this season and appear to be on the back-end of a dynasty.

This game will be a prime opportunity for Phoenix to rebound from a rough stretch, as the big three is finally expected to debut together on Tuesday night.

Wednesday vs Brooklyn

This is the game that Suns fans have had marked on the calendar ever since the NBA schedule was released- it's the first time Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson make their respective returns to Phoenix nearly a year after both were included in the Kevin Durant trade.

The Brooklyn Nets have started out as one of the big surprises of the early NBA season - particularly behind a strong offense.

The Nets have seven players averaging 10+ PPG and all have played in at least half of their contests.

Friday vs New York

The Suns face the New York Knicks for the second and final time this season- three weeks after Devin Booker knocked down a game-winner at Madison Square Garden in a 116-113 Suns win.

This game also commemorates the immortalization of Suns legend Shawn Marion in the history of the franchise. The former Suns wing spent the first 8.5 seasons of his career in Phoenix before he was shipped off to the Miami Heat in a trade in 2008.

The Suns and Knicks are set to tip off on Friday night shortly after 8 PM Arizona time.

Sunday vs Washington

The Washington Wizards will likely serve as somewhat of a proverbial break for the Suns on Sunday night in Phoenix.

The Wizards are one of the very worst teams in basketball, posing a 3-18 record and looking to entrench themselves in a rebuilding phase after years of avoiding it.

This will possibly be the first time Bradley Beal faces off against his former squad- health permitting, as well as the potential return of former Suns guard Landry Shamet after two seasons in the Valley.
