Craig has now made 14 consecutive shots in his last three games with that one being perhaps the most difficult of release.

Suns are 2-for-7 from 3, 4-for-10 on 2s. Settled for a couple 3s, but this is a pretty bleh start offensively all around – 6:27 PM

Starting 2-for-2 today, Deandre Ayton has made 26 of his 32 hook shots (81.3%) since the All-Star break.
It’s eye-opening how much of a weapon that shot has become. Enlightening.
A revelAYTON, if you will. – 6:20 PM

Got some interesting side stories here:
1. Aaron Holiday facing brother Justin Holiday.
2. Trey Lyles and Devin Booker were teammates at Kentucky.
3. Donte DiVincenzo and Mikal Bridges were teammates at Villanova.
This is Elfrid Payton’s 1st start this season. #Suns #Kings – 6:20 PM

Harrison Barnes gets the Kings on the board. Good sign, since he went scoreless last game. – 6:12 PM

Pacers led the entire way and crushed the Blazers, 129-98. A feel-good win, the second-largest this season.
Brissett has 24/9, Justin Anderson started and scored 18 (3-6 3s), Jalen Smith and Terry Taylor both scored 17.
Up next: Wed. v Kings — a renuion game. – 5:49 PM

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen Cam Johnson, Cam Payne, Landry Shamet and Torrey Craig all thrive in spot starts for the Suns. I’d imagine that’s the goal with starting Elfrid Payton today, especially since it allows Aaron Holiday to lead the second unit – 4:45 PM

Monty Williams said he doesn’t have any update on Chris Paul as far as timetable in return, but Paul is doing more and more in looking to return from fractured right thumb.
