SO SAD: The Suns’ key player injury will cause them to lose this game against the Raptors.
The Phoenix Suns enter Monday’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors desperately needing a victory. Phoenix has lost six of their last 10 games, including a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.
They do still only sit one and a half games behind the Dallas Mavericks for the final Play-In spot in the Western Conference as Dallas has lost three consecutive games.
Despite this, the Suns will now face off against a red-hot Raptors team who is trying to make a late run for the final Play-In spot in the Eastern Conference. Toronto has won six of their last 10 games and sit just four and a half games behind the Chicago Bulls for the final Play-In spot.
To make matters worse for Phoenix, they may once again be without their star guard Bradley Beal as he is listed as questionable for Monday’s game.
Beal’s health for Monday’s game against Toronto is uncertain after he departed Sunday’s defeat to the Lakers due to stiffness in his left hamstring. Naturally, Beal has struggled with a number of lower body issues this season, and because Monday’s game is the second of a back-to-back, he is probably going to miss it. Due to a foot issue, Grayson Allen has been upgraded to doubtful. This is fantastic news for the Suns since he might play against Toronto on Monday, which would be crucial if Beal is out. Conversely, the Raptors have classified RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley as day-to-day, which means they may also be missing some of their best players.
