Overview
- Phoenix Suns' stars Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are expected to play together for the first time this season against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
- Minnesota Timberwolves have won seven straight games and are playing less than 24 hours after beating the Golden State Warriors in an NBA in-season tournament game.
- Phoenix Suns have lost two straight games and could face an adjustment period with the debut of their star trio.
- Booker has missed the Suns' past five games due to a right calf strain, while Beal has only appeared in three games while battling lower back issues.
- The Wolves boast the league's best defensive rating (102.1), but they will be tested by the trio of Durant, Booker and Beal.
