Suns Named Biggest Winners of January

As we approach the end of January, the Phoenix Suns were able to right the ship.

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns were named one of the biggest winners of January by Bleacher Report in their massive end-of-month evaluation.

"As the Phoenix Suns are finally starting to enjoy a little stretch of decent health, they've climbed up the standings and reminded everyone of what raw talent can mean in the NBA," wrote Andy Bailey.

"Phoenix has a top-five winning percentage in January, and Devin Booker, specifically, has come alive.

"For the entire season, the Suns are now plus-17.5 points per 100 possessions when all three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are on the floor, but they're not the only reason for the recent uptick.

"In January, Grayson Allen is averaging 13.5 points, 3.1 threes and 2.9 assists while shooting 56.6 percent from deep, while Jusuf Nurkić is contributing 9.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists.

"Health (or lack thereof) aside, production from this team's stars was almost a given. The Suns' ultimate upside was always going to depend on the rest of the team. And if Allen and Nurkić keep playing like this, Phoenix is a legitimate contender."

The Suns certainly have found their footing as of late thanks to overall health and continued continuity. 

Should Phoenix continue elevating as the end of the season draws closer, it's tough to find many teams in the league who could beat them in a seven-game series.
