PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns hope to get back on the winning track against the Los Angeles Lakers, and Frank Vogel will opt for the following starting lineup:
Devin Booker

Heading into today's matchup, the Suns were already without Bradley Beal due to a left hamstring problem that's plagued him before the All-Star break. Beal has also missed time due to ankle and back injuries this season.
Eric Gordon is also out due to groin soreness after being considered questionable, and thus Royce O'Neale will be getting his first start for the Suns since being acquired at the trade deadline weeks ago. He's featured in five games for Phoenix thus far.
Jusuf Nurkic returns to the lineup after missing Friday's action with an ankle sprain. He was initially listed as probable
The Suns and Lakers meet for the final time this regular season after Los Angeles established a firm 3-1 series lead. Phoenix has dropped back to back games since returning from the All-Star break but still hold a 3.5-game advantage over the Lakers in the Western Conference standings.
Opening tip between the two sides is slated for just past 1:30 PM Arizona time at Footprint Center. Action can be found on ABC.
