Phoenix Suns vs. Sacramento Kings Preview

Suns buoyed by return of their poster boy, Devin Booker. The All-Star guard is expected to return after missing the past four games with a strained hip. He will inject much-needed energy into a Suns offense that has struggled in his absence.

The Suns still haven’t. Dillon Brooks and Jordan Goodwin. Jaylen Green will have to shoulder a heavy offensive load, which will allow Booker to ease his way back into the lineup. Colin Gillespie and Grayson Allen had solid performances against the Lakers, and the Suns will be hoping they replicate that same performance against the Kings.

The Kings, meanwhile, were guilty of turning the ball over too many times. They committed 20 turnovers and gave up points easily in transition. Sacramento needs to clean up its act and emphasize ball control to challenge the Suns.

Nique Clifford had a great performance, scoring a team-high 26 points. Maxime Leno continued his hot streak, scoring another double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
