Is it bad that the guy I'm most bummed about sitting out is Holmes?

No Holmes or Ayton today. Does Acy start? Bender for sure will get some minutes, maybe even dust off Ryan Anderson. Could we see the Booker-Bridges-Jackson-Warren-Oubre lineup where all 5 guys are 6’6 to 6’8? Probably don’t want to run that with towns on the floor

I would start Bender at center and play him for 48 minutes. See what he does.

He would probably fall into a jelly lump on the floor after 36 minutes.

Minnesota by 40. Suns will get outrebounded by 30. It's supposed to be like 4 degrees or something there tonight so this should be another Phx gem

Not like they'd really use Ayton anyway.
👀 Fire Frank Vogel.

Without Ayton on the floor, who are they going to not pass it to?

The person most disappointed that Ayton won't play tonight is Karl Anthony Towns.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Jackson/Oubre/Bridges with zero points. We need them to step up offensively with Ayton out.

Uncharacteristically nice end to the quarter. 5 point burst including a couple of offensive rebounds, an Acy charge, and a Warren 3 at the buzzer.
