PHOENIX — The phoenix suns I hope to find the win column again when the Philadelphia 76ers come to town.
Head coach Frank Vogel will use the following starting lineup:
David Booker
Bradley Beal
Allen Grayson
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic
The Suns previously ruled out Josh Okogie (abdominal strain) and Damion Lee (meniscus surgery). Bol Bol was initially likely with a sprained right ankle, but he is ready to play tonight.
Robert Covington (left knee), Joel Embiid (meniscus), Kai Jones (hamstring), De'Anthony Melton (back) and Terquavion Smith (G League) were ruled out early for Philadelphia.
The Suns are even 3-3 in their last six games entering tonight and are coming off a 140-129 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
With two full days off and returning home, Phoenix hopes to keep pace in a tight race in the Western Conference playoff picture. Bradley Beal (28), Grayson Allen (25) and Devin Booker (23) helped the Suns score on Sunday.
The Sixers are fresh off a 98-91 slugfest over the Miami Heat, where Tyrese Maxey posted his third straight 30-point performance for Philadelphia. With Embiid out, Maxey's 26.1 points per game leads the 76ers.
Phoenix lost its previous meeting with Philadelphia 112-100 in early November.
The opening tip is scheduled for 7:00 pm Arizona time.
