PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns have revealed their Friday night lineup against the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n

With Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green out tonight for Phoenix due to injury, the Suns still aren’t at full strength. <\/p>\n

However, they’re utilizing the following lineup for a second consecutive night as NBA Cup action begins.<\/p>\n

This will be the Suns’ first NBA Cup game, which features a unique court and uniform combination – which you can read more about here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Booker has now scored 30+ points in Phoenix’s first four-of-five games. Settling into point guard duties, Booker has five combined turnovers in his last two games. <\/p>\n

Allen, one of three Suns to start all five games thus far, again gets the nod from Jordan Ott. His 37.8% clip from downtown is second only to Royce O’Neale.<\/p>\n

Dunn is the only other player besides Allen\/Book to have started every game in the earlygoings of the regular season. His improvement as a defender and hustle player in Phoenix has been notable. <\/p>\n

O’Neale’s team-leading 41.3% from three-point land is currently a career high for the wingman. Behind Brooks, O’Neale has top spot for the Suns with 1.6 steals per night. <\/p>\n

Phoenix was cautious with Williams, who did miss some time to start the year with injury management – though this marks his second consecutive start for the Suns. He’s currently averaging a 13.3 point\/10 rebound double-double entering tonight. <\/p>\n

Everybody in the desert knew Phoenix would struggle with a brand new roster out of the gates – and though they’ve fought hard, the Suns have continually put themselves behind the eight ball early in games. <\/p>\n

Perhaps things will be smoother with Green back – as the Suns don’t have a strong shot creater to pair with Booker on the floor, which has hurt Phoenix in some cases. <\/p>\n

After their season-opening win, they’ve lost four in a row – one of those losses came against the same Utah team earlier this week when Lauri Markkanen dropped a 50-burger. <\/p>\n

Even in spite of the overtime loss to Utah, the Suns are betting favorites to win tonight as NBA Cup action gets underway. <\/p>\n

Opening tip is slated for 7:00 PM MST at Mortgage Matchup Center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns have revealed their Friday night lineup against the Utah Jazz.
