Suns Announce Starters vs Raptors
PHOENIX -- Concluding their three-game road trip, the Phoenix Suns will go with the following starting lineup against the Toronto Raptors tonight:
- Devin Booker
- Eric Gordon
- Josh Okogie
- Kevin Durant
- Jusuf Nurkic
Previously ruled out ahead of game time were Nassir Little (personal reasons), Bradley Beal (lower back) and Damion Lee (knee).
Little flew back to Phoenix to welcome the birth of his new child while Beal continues to recover from lower back issues and Lee still sidelined from meniscus surgery.
Durant and Allen were initially listed as questionable heading into today as neither played in Sunday's win over the New York Knicks. Allen - who is ruled out for tonight - woke up with illness Sunday morning before being ruled out while Durant went through warm-ups with his right foot soreness and ultimately was held out for a second straight game.
He is good to go and in the starting lineup.
Off the injury report are Yuta Watanabe and Drew Eubanks, both of whom played Sunday after missing previous action on Friday and are now seemingly healthy after being active for multiple games.
The Suns hope to keep their winning streak of seven games alive and well, which is the current longest active streak in the league. Toronto has lost two in a row heading into tonight.
ESPN's basketball power index gives Phoenix a 55% chance to win. Opening tip is slated for just past 5:30 PM Arizona time.
