Suns Must Give Booker Some Help
The Phoenix Suns might not have a dynamic duo like Boston, but they do have a superstar in Devin Booker. He comes into this game scoring 28.4 points per night, and he is always capable of completely taking over and going off on the offensive end of the floor.
Chris Paul is not going to be suiting up for this game, and he is the player that leads the Phoenix offense every single night. The Suns are going to have to shoot the ball well in this game, but that’s not something that they always do.
Phoenix is not a team that typically puts a ton of focus on the defensive end, but it must find a way to at least challenge Brown and Tatum in this one.
