Analyzing the past three games, the Suns have demonstrated an ability to score heavily and efficiently. In their most recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans, they notched an impressive 124 points with a true shooting percentage of 63 percent and an effective field goal percentage of 60 percent. Their dominance was evident as they led for over 46 minutes and secured a victory by maintaining a lead that peaked at 27 points.


Despite suffering a loss against Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 103-128, Phoenix's performance was notable for its bench contribution of 30 points and maintaining an assist-turnover ratio above one. This indicates depth in their squad that could be crucial when rotations come into play.

In another previous game versus Denver Nuggets, the Suns secured a win with solid defense reflected by seven blocks and limiting their opponents to under one hundred points. They also showed proficiency from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage nearing fifty percent.


The upcoming encounter promises to be challenging as both teams bring distinct strengths to court. The venue might influence proceedings; playing away from home requires adaptability from Phoenix but also presents an opportunity for them to showcase their resilience once more.
