[Superbone]

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: BSAZ, NBATV, SPECSN

The Suns have had the Lakers number as of late. They won earlier this season and won all four last season. In fact, I think the last time the Lakers beat the Suns, LeBron James was dancing salsa in the playoffs. Both Booker (groin soreness) and Ayton are questionable and AD is out for at least a month after grazing his foot on Jokic. In addition to Payne and Washington Jr., Landale is also out due to concussion protocol.

Side note, anybody willing to sign up to do a week or more of the weekly threads? We still have gaps and it'd be great to find some folks to fill in. Here's the thread with the signup spreadsheet:

I'll have this week's threads up in a few hours.

Booker’s groin injury could be related to the hamstring—perhaps he came back too soon/played too many minutes.

I’m also worried DA will return too soon again, with Landale out.

Teams are going into holiday vacation mode this week

[Split T]

Start Okogie!

If Ayton can't go tonight, this might be a Suns loss.

Beverly is questionable every night.

[Superbone]

[JeremyG]

I just hope Beverley does not play. Or else we'll end up with less than 9 active players.

[JeremyG]

DA is playing. Hope he's 100% and hope Beverley doesn't change that.

Suns employ the "next man up" mentality while Beverly does "next man down" as in who is the most valuable player I can injure today.

[TOO]

Start Okogie!

Tonight would be a good night for Dominayton to show up.
