The Phoenix Suns hope to carry the momentum snatched out of TD Garden in their 106-94 win over the Boston Celtics on Friday night, their seventh win in nine games. 

Mikal Bridges has now led the team in scoring in three straight games, and the Celtics were held to under 100 points at home for the first time since Dec. 18. 

Now, Phoenix looks to the second of a five-game road trip when the Detroit Pistons play host later tonight. 

They're set to get some major help back, too. 

Suns Injury Report

Cam Johnson (knee management) was taken off the injury report after missing Friday in what was deemed "knee management" by the team. Johnson is still fully working his way back from a meniscus tear suffered earlier in the season. 

Devin Booker remains out, yet this could be the last game of his absence after exiting just four minutes into Phoenix's Christmas Day meeting with the Denver Nuggets. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski recently reported the Suns could see him return on Tuesday when they battle the Brooklyn Nets

The likes of Landry Shamet and Cam Payne (foot injuries) aren't available, either. Payne is supposed to be revaluated later next week and a source told Inside The Suns that "it might be awhile" until Shamet returns to action. 

Jae Crowder is still not with the team and looks to be traded ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline. 

Pistons Injury Report

Although Detroit has yet to release their injury report, Cory Joseph (back) is listed as questionable for tonight while Marvin Bagley (right hand surgery) and Cade Cunningham (left tibial fracture) have missed extended time and also won't play. 

Opening tip is scheduled for 5:00 pm MST.
