Eleven would be heaven. Meanwhile, the Nets enter the valley on a four game losing streak but hope to get James Harden back for this one. He’s always looking to perform well in Phoenix after going to school at ASU in nearby Tempe.
FYI the link is broken... has some characters at the end it doesn't need.
From the media guide--nothing really new here.
With a win tonight, the Suns would move to 41-9 on the season, the best start in franchise history through the first 50 games of a season
The Suns enter tonight riding a league-best 10-game win streak, the 2nd time in franchise history (2007-08 season) Phoenix has notched multiple 10+ game winning streaks in the same season (won a franchise record 18-straight earlier this year)
With Sunday’s win, head coach Monty Williams and his staff earned a berth to Cleveland, as they’ll coach Team LeBron in the 2022 All-Star Game with the West’s best record
Chris Paul, who dished a season-high 19 assists Sun. (most by any NBA player in a game this season), has scored 20+ points in 4-straight games, his longest such streak since the 2017-18 season (5-straight 20+ point games)
Chris Paul was named Western Conference Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 24-30 on Mon.
Nets are much less scary without Durant, obviously, but somehow these one-man wrecking crew players like Harden always manage to torch us. So they'll still be a tough out. We're also missing a bunch of guys still and may wear out as the game goes on.

From Crowder's quote I got the feeling he'd give it a go. With Kyrie and Harden playing, I had this down as an L with only 9 guys. Getting Jae back would be a boost on the perimeter.
I would think Bridges would be more likely to slip into the backcourt since he can handle them defensively.

Fast start for both teams. Book 9pts on 4-4 shooting. Nets are right there but getting to the line a bit more. Crowder opened the game with a 3, DA had a great dunk on a PnR and then a quick baby hook in the lane. He's looking winded already tho. Otherwise both look really good.
They're going to have to tighten up the defense eventually.
