Teams Preview
Phoenix Suns
In their last game against the Trail Blazers, the Suns lost by 15 points (77-92). Collin Gillespie led Phoenix with 18 points and Jalen Green had 13. The Suns shot just 36.9% from the field and the 77 points were a season low.
Coming off a 113-110 double-overtime win over Orlando the previous night, the short-handed Suns were missing All-Star guard Devin Booker (hip strain), Dillon Brooks (fractured hand), Grayson Allen (knee/ankle) and Jordan Goodwin (calf). It was a sloppy contest with 19 turnovers for Phoenix.
The Suns enter this matchup having shown flashes of brilliance when healthy, but injuries have hampered their rotation significantly. Their offense runs best through Devin Booker, whose elite scoring and playmaking drives everything they do. Without him available, they rely on depth and collective effort.
On their home floor at Footprint Center, Phoenix has the crowd and familiarity to compete against any team, and their defensive versatility with players like Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale can create problems on the perimeter. If the Suns can limit turnovers and make Booker's absence felt less, they could make things uncomfortable for Boston.
The Suns on average score 113.6 points per game, they score 46.0% from the field and are ranked 22nd in the league, and 36.5% from the arc and are ranked 10th in the league. The Suns grab 42.9 rebounds per game and are ranked 21st in the season.
Boston Celtics
The Celtics are coming off a 22 points (111-89) win over the Los Angeles Lakers in their last match. Jaylen Brown had 32 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, while Payton Pritchard scored 30 points with six 3-pointers and eight assists.
Boston swept the season series against LA and have won three straight and eight of nine. Brown and Pritchard scored 19 points apiece in the second half, and Pritchard sealed it with a step-back 3-pointer with 3:24 to play. The Celtics shot 48% from the field in a dominant, complete performance.
The Celtics come into this matchup in elite form and brimming with confidence. Their two-pronged attack through Jaylen Brown and Payton Pritchard is firing on all cylinders, and their defensive structure — led by Derrick White — makes them one of the most complete teams in the league.
On the road, Boston has shown no signs of letting up, sweeping rival series and demonstrating the kind of depth and execution that makes them genuine title contenders. Facing a shorthanded Suns squad, the Celtics will look to dominate from tip-off, push pace and make winning plays down the stretch with balanced scoring and ball movement.
The Celtics on average score 117.0 points per game, they score 47.3% from the field and are ranked 9th in the league, and 36.9% from the arc and are ranked 13th in the league. The Celtics grab 44.9 rebounds per game and are ranked 18th in the season.
