Suns Eye Fifth Straight Win as Slumping Pacers Visit Phoenix

Injury absences push Phoenix to lean on three-point volume against a short-handed Indiana.

Overview

  • Phoenix enters on a four-game winning streak and a 6-1 run over its last seven, hosting Indiana in the second half of a back-to-back.
  • The Suns hit 14 threes in Wednesday’s 123-114 win at Dallas and are averaging 16.3 made 3-pointers per game, with Grayson Allen leading the NBA with 50 triples at 44.6%.
  • Devin Booker remains the offensive hub at 28.2 points and 7.0 assists per game, with recent scoring skewing inside despite solid season-long three-point accuracy.
  • Jalen Green is out with a right hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks, and Mark Williams will sit again for right-knee injury management on the back-to-back.
  • Indiana arrives 1-10 after heavy losses at Golden State and Utah, shooting an NBA-worst 40.2% from the field and 29.6% from deep without Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin, as books list Phoenix around -4.5 and -185 on the moneyline.
