Suns Unveil Starting Lineup vs Jazz

PHOENIX -- In hopes of grabbing a third consecutive win, the Phoenix Suns will roll out the following starting lineup against the Utah Jazz in just under two hours.

DEVIN BOOKER
GRAYSON ALLEN
ERIC GORDON
KEVIN DURANT

This is the same starting lineup Phoenix utilized on Friday.

Phoenix will be without Yuta Watanabe tonight as he'll miss the first game of his Suns career with a quad injury.

The Suns sure hope to get the best out of Kevin Durant once again, who mustered a mere 38 points with nine rebounds and nine assists in Friday's 131-128 win over Utah.

The Jazz certainly know how good he is.

“Kevin’s really good against every coverage,” Utah coach Will Hardy said. “The last play of the game, we’re obviously not trying to play one-on-one defense versus Kevin. The plan was to try to crowd him, climb up underneath him, make him dribble the ball.”

Devin Booker - still settling into his role as a point guard in Phoenix - had a career high 15 assists to go along with 24 points and four rebounds.

Without Bradley Beal, the Suns have mostly relied on the duo of Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen in Phoenix's backcourt. Last time out in Utah, the duo combined for 24 points on 6-12 shooting from downtown.

Phoenix has now scored 130+ in back to back games for the first time all season after dropping 133 on Minnesota last Wednesday. Their highest prior output also came against the Jazz in their home opening 126-104 win back in October.

Opening tip between the Suns and Jazz will come just after 6:00 PM Arizona time.
