PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns aim to get themselves out of the play-in tournament with a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. A loss from the New Orleans Pelicans is also needed as the 2023-24 NBA regular season wraps up today.
The Suns look to end their season on a high note with the following starting five, as confirmed by Frank Vogel prior to game time:
This has been the most often used lineup from Vogel when everybody is healthy, though the Suns did throw us a curveball two games ago when Allen was swapped for Royce O’Neale, who is viewed as a more versatile defender than Allen while still capable of hitting open looks from deep.
Allen – who statistically has been the best three-point shooter in the league for much of the year – recently went through a rough stretch before he bounced back in Friday’s win over the Sacramento Kings, converting four of eight three-point attempts for 19 points.
Kevin Durant led all players in scoring with 29 points last time out.
Minnesota confirmed Anthony Edwards (illness) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) would both be active after the star duo was questionable entering today.
Suns-Wolves will tip just past 12:30 PM Arizona time.
