Suns Reveal Starters vs Bulls

Frank Vogel opted to start the game with this lineup

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns are looking to climb up to the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a win tonight- and coach Frank Vogel went with the typical starting lineup to get the job done:

Devin Booker
Bradley Beal
Grayson Allen
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic

Allen was cleared to play shortly before tip after being listed as questionable due to right knee soreness earlier in the day - an injury he seemingly suffered early on in last night's win against the Indiana Pacers before eventually returning.

The Suns were victorious last night against the Pacers largely behind the efforts of Booker, Beal and Durant - who appear to be getting more dangerous with each game. 

“Health is the number one thing. We are continuing to evolve as a team and grow, all of our guys, not just the big three, but the role players, the guys coming off the bench and like Grayson (Allen), (Jusuf) Nurkic, Eric (Gordon), those guys finding their spots to be effective and I think we are really committing to defensive side of the ball," Vogel said.

Durant scored 40 points with zero trips to the free throw line, while Beal pitched in an efficient 25 points. Booker had a rough shooting night after scoring 52 points on Friday but still managed to drop 26. 

“It is the definition of ‘pick your poison.’ I mean, all of us coming in with an aggressive mindset, you know it is going to be tough to stop, as you have seen. Late in the game, especially with the spacing out there," Booker said on Phoenix's star trio.

The Bulls enter tonight night firmly entrenched as the No. 9 seed out of the East and have spent much of the season without star SG Zach LaVine. 

The Suns are looking to sweep Chicago for the fifth consecutive season - they haven't lost a single game to the Bulls since March 18, 2019 and the presence of Phoenix's stars plus Allen/Nurkic will look to overwhelm a Bulls lineup with limited firepower.
