The Brooklyn Nets (32-21, fifth in the Eastern Conference) welcome the Phoenix Suns (29-26, sixth in the Western Conference) to Barclays Center for the second and final matchup between the teams this season. Phoenix leads the regular-season series 1-0.
In the first game, a Suns 117-112 win on Jan. 19, Mikal Bridges scored 28 points to lead Phoenix to the victory. Brooklyn came back from being down as many 24 points to make the game interesting in the fourth quarter thanks to Kyrie Irving (now a Dallas Maverick) scoring 21 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter.
The Nets come into this game having won five of its last 13 games (length of time Kevin Durant has missed due to his sprained right MCL) and will be more short-handed in this game with five players listed as out. The Suns come into this matchup having won just 10 of its last 21 games (length of time Devin Booker has missed with his groin issue), but have gone 8-2 over its past 10 games. Phoenix should also have their normal starting five now that Booker is listed as probable to go along with Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton.
