Phoenix — With a victory versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Phoenix Suns hope to advance from the play-in tournament. A loss against the New Orleans Pelicans is also required as the 2023-24 NBA regular season concludes tonight.
The Suns want to finish the season on a positive note with the following starting lineup, as confirmed by Frank Vogel prior to game time.
Bradley Beal
Devin Booker
Grayson Allen
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic
When everyone is healthy, this has been Vogel’s most frequently used lineup, but the Suns threw us a surprise two games ago when Allen was replaced by Royce O’Neale, who is regarded as a more versatile defender than Allen but still capable of hitting open shots from deep.
Allen, who has been the league’s best three-point shooter for much of the year, recently had a tough spell before rebounding in Friday’s victory over the Sacramento Kings, making four of eight three-point attempts for 19 points.
Kevin Durant led all players in scoring with 29 points the past time out.
Minnesota announced Anthony Edwards (illness) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) would be active after the star duo’s entry was questioned today.
The Suns-Wolves game will start shortly after 12:30 p.m. Arizona time.
