For the game, the Suns could be without their best player, as 2014 MVP Kevin Durant is on the injury report. Durant is averaging 27.1 points, 6.4 assists, 4.1 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 52.3% from the field and 39.8% from the three-point range in 35 games.

For the Suns, they need Durant in the lineup to continue their recent hot streak. Phoenix has won three consecutive games and eight of their last 10 contests. They now sit eighth in the Western Conference standings with a 24-21 record after falling all the way to 12th in the standings.
