On January 21, the Suns made a guest appearance in Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. The two teams have played each other twice in Phoenix this season, and in Doncic's absence, the Suns both broke the glue in the final quarter to defend the home court with a 7-point and 8-point advantage. Doncic will play Paul and Booker at home tomorrow.
Solar aspect
The Suns are the first in the league (34 wins and 9 losses), have achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 games, after being shot through by the Heat, they have opened a wave of 4 consecutive wins, and the last 3 games against the weak teams in the league have maintained double-digit leads to win, Paul and Booker have played very steadily. Tomorrow's game Ayton is likely to miss out, but McGee and Biyombo's athleticism and rim protection level are largely filling this gap, and the Suns' interior line does not need a lot of ball-holding offense, and Paul's feeding is enough to get enough points.
Lone Ranger aspect
The Lone Ranger has the fifth-highest record in the West (26 wins and 19 losses), and recently in a wave of four consecutive wins, Bo Shen can provide a stable scoring point for the team after his comeback, but the last two games against the lower and middle teams in the league (Thunder, Raptors) have played the final minute. Today's home game against the Raptors, Doncic 41 points and 14 rebounds, but the role players did not give enough help, in the final period of the game by Van Fort counter-score, the last minute Doncic scored 5 points in a row, Bo Shen two free throws two shots, with a 4-point advantage thrilling victory.
The result of the game "blind" thought
The Lone Ranger's back-to-back combat fitness at home tomorrow needs to be tested, and although Doncic's scoring is stable, it is not as "explosive" as today, and the outside shooting rate after Bo Shen's comeback is not high, and it is difficult to bring more space for the team. The Suns are now part of an offensive and defensive team, Paul's defense can greatly limit Doncic's scoring, Booker's ability is beyond doubt, and the scoring ability of role players such as Payne and Crowder has passed the test this season.
The Lone Rangers will face a big test at home tomorrow, and Bo Shen needs to respond on the offensive end, and also cut the connection between Paul, Booker and the role players on the defensive end to ensure home safety.
"Blind" thought: Booker vs. Doncic, the Suns won away by more than 5 points.
Injury suspension
Lone Ranger: Crobert, Bullock, High Probability, Sterling. Brown is out of the game
Suns: Ayton, Kaminsky, Sharic missing
Yesterday "blind" thought: Bucks beat the Grizzlies within 10, did not expect the last 2 and a half minutes, the Grizzlies were beaten a wave of 12:3, and finally the Bucks won 12 points.
