Can a banged-up Suns team get out of the skid they are in on the road?
The Phoenix Suns have dropped three out of their last four games. Meanwhile they are traveling to play the Lakers who are winners of their last seven games.
Injury Report
Phoenix Suns:
- Ryan Dunn is probable for tonight's game; he has missed the last five games but could return on Monday night.
- Jalen Green is still out for the meeting against the Lakers with a hamstring strain.
- Isaiah Livers is out for his third game in a row with a hip strain.
- Mark Williams missed the last game with a calf issue, but is listed as playing in the matchup against the Lakers. This is great news for a smaller lineup that has been dominated on the boards in William's absence
Los Angeles Lakers:
- Marcus Smart back problems, has him listed as questionable.
- Lebron James with his foot soreness is day-to-day, whether we see him on the court tonight is uncertain.
- Deandre Ayton left Sunday's game with knee issues. Ayton will be a game-time decision.
The return of Grayson Allen to the starting lineup, must be a relief for Devon Booker and Dillon Brooks. Gillispie will be able to rest on the bench and step in on a must needed bases.
Monday night's game will test the Phoenix Suns ability to execute under pressure, especially with recent poor shooting performances.
If Luka and the Lakers get hot early, the Suns might find themselves in a whole they can not dig out of.
Dropping to seventh in the Western Conference recently, a win for the Phoenix Suns could re-establish confidence and momentum.
