Suns Injury Report: Will Kevin Durant and Devin Booker Play Tonight vs the Shorthanded Bulls?

The upcoming match for the Chicago Bulls is a challenging one as it is against the Valley of the Sun. Even though the Bulls are having an excellent on-the-road run, winning three out of their last four contests, the Footprint Center is their next destination, where this successful run might come to an end. The Phoenix Suns are on a roll and giving extraordinary performances every time they step on the hardwood. Currently, they are on a five-game winning streak and are looking to continue this momentum throughout the season.

However, to carry on this marvelous run, are their star players Kevin Durant and Devin Booker going to be a part of their squad tonight?

The Phoenix Suns’ lineup remains intact

The Phoenix Suns did not want to mess up their fortuitous run by making any squad changes. So, their squad going against the Chicago Bulls is the same, consisting of Kevin Durant, Grayson Allen, Jusuf Nurkic, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. The formidable trio of Beal, Booker, and Durant has been the driving force for the Sun’s victory combining for an impressive 91 points in their last matchup against the Railroad City. Even though they are struggling defensively conceding 114.3 points per game, the Suns are able to dominate their opponents with their offensive prowess by averaging 116.1 points per game.

On the other hand, the Chicago Bulls’ star player Zach LaVine will be out for likely a week or two due to an ankle injury he suffered in a game against the Toronto Raptors. So in his absence, the 23-year-old Coby White will be starting alongside DeMar DeRozan, Patrick Williams, Nikola Vucevic, and Alex Caruso. But even without LaVine, the Bulls are able to emerge victorious and have moved up to the ninth place in the Easter Conference rankings. When the two clubs faced each other last on November 9th, the Suns just managed to win in overtime with a score of 116-115. So can we expect a close-called match tonight as well?

An exhilarating battle between two powerhouses

The Phoenix Suns faced hardship in their opening game, with Devin Booker out due to injury, requiring Kevin Durant to shoulder the responsibility of the team. Despite Bradley Beal’s return from an extended absence, the Suns discovered an exceptional player in Grayson Allen, who aided them when they needed it the most. Now that both Booker and Beal are in better shape, the game’s dynamics have the potential to change, providing another factor of intrigue.

Also, since February 20220, the Suns boast an 8-game winning streak against the Bulls which shows their historical dominance on the club. Due to that the Bulls will be yearning for a victory and breaking this losing streak against the Suns. So, the upcoming clash promises to be a test of Chicago’s tenacity and depth as they try to make a lasting impact against one of the league’s best teams.
