Time: 5:30 pm AZ (4:30 pm PT/7:30 pm ET)
Place: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
TV: FSAZ/NBALP
Suns play in world famous Madison Square Garden Thursday night. Booker tends to like to put on a show here. Who knows what's going to happen. You never know with these two teams. No Oubre will make things tough for us.
Go Suns!!!

We're in a lot of trouble if Booker isn't on his game.
The Knicks have all the right kind of guys who abuse the Suns front court. So if Booker is off, we'll lose the game on the glass again.

I'm actually excited to see what Bridges and Cam can do. Lots of pressure on Saric tonight, since we can't go Oubre / Bridges. If Dario is off, we might see Booker / Bridges at forward with Tyler Johnson or Okobo at shooting guard to close the game.

3rd game of the year, where Ayton is starting at center.

Mikal did just fine there against Randle in the post...something to keep an eye on as I think we should start him at the 4

He’d never come back, but Marcus Morris is kinda exactly what we need at the 4

I wouldn't start Bridges at the 4 just yet. He did well on Randle for a possession and 2 other suns collapsed to help. I do like Bridges in certain matchups but he needs to fill out and hit his 3s.
Nothing out of the ordinary to start for either team. Booker with another 2 quick fouls to start but he's staying in. A nice turnaround baseline jumper by Ayton, I think 2 lobs so far? The lob is so easy for him and he's a great leaper.

It was just 1 play. Baynes got beat by Randle twice in the post. Just something to keep an eye on. If Bridges isn’t get taken advantage of down low, no reason to not start him.

This is the lineup you put out there when you're down by 30 in the 4th quarter. What is Monty thinking? When you're shorthanded like this you have to have at least 1 starter on the floor at all times!

Baynes misses a corner 3 and a wing 3 on the same possession

I'd love to see Bridges develop into a PJ Tucker/Jae Crowder type if he can put some good weight on.

Why are we so bad at shooting 3s?
