For the Suns, Grayson Allen, Haywood Highsmith, and Mark Williams are all unavailable tonight, undergoing injury management.

Although the Suns are largely secured in the 7th seed in the Western Conference and at the top of the play-in tournament bracket, a victory tonight would solidify their position before the regular season concludes. Following their significant loss to the Rockets yesterday, they may be playing with extra motivation.
