The Phoenix Suns’ start to the season hasn’t been very encouraging for their fans, who were hoping for a title push. The Suns have won two games out of four this season. However, the Suns are without key players like Bradley Beal and Devin Booker. The Suns’ start to the season has further emphasized their lack of depth. With both Booker and Beal out, Kevin Durant has to take on the scoring burden of the team.

They would look to bounce back against the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs have become a formidable opponent with Victor Wembanyama on their roster. Following their close defeat in the previous matchup against the Spurs, the Suns will aim to regain their winning momentum.

The Phoenix Suns have been exposed for their lack of depth and quality bench options. Devin Booker played the first two games of the season but got injured against the Lakers. On the other hand, Bradley Beal has missed all four of Phoenix’s games due to his back injury. The Suns have to call on the likes of Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen in the absence of their two stars.

For the game against the Spurs, Booker has still been listed as doubtful. Whereas, Beal’s lingering back injury is not yet healed, indicating that he might be absent for the game.

So, the Suns are most likely to begin the game with Eric Gordon, Grayson Allen, Josh Okogie, Kevin Durant, and Jusuf Nurkic. The Suns will look to avenge their narrow loss against the Spurs. In the reverse fixture, the Spurs overcame a 20 point deficit to win the game 115-114.
