For the game, they will likely get their best player back in action, as 2014 MVP Kevin Durant is listed as probable on the injury report.

He has missed each of the previous three games.

Via Gerald Bourguet of PHNX SPORTS: "Suns injury report vs Jazz:

Kevin Durant (left ankle sprain) - Probable

Jusuf Nurkic, Ryan Dunn and Grayson Allen are not listed on the injury report, so they should be good to go"

Durant had been averaging 25.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per contest while shooting 53.6% from the field and 44.9% from the three-point range in 13 games.

In addition, the Suns have gone just 3-7 over their last ten games.
