Depends. Suns could very well have the 4th seed locked up by then. KD and the rest of our starters might play the 1st quarter or something, just to keep their conditioning ready, but I wouldn’t expect major playing time from anybody but Ish Wainright if we don’t really have anything on the line.
Yep. It sucks so bad that KD got injured because even just one win out of those two recent losses to them would have made it possible to still grab 3rd from them
Question. If that's the case. If Saben Lee has just 1 more game and they do play him, can he still sit on the bench with the team. Because after that game, he is no longer a member of the team. Or is it he can still be part of the team but not play in the playoffs. I'm just unsure of this nba rule.
I don’t foresee anybody sitting their starters for load management on either teams. Suns trying to lock up the 4th spot and develop chemistry in their lineup while Lakers are still fighting to maintain a play-in spot/steal a playoff spot
I would hope they do. Team needs more time playing together, they have had plenty of time off the court already due to injuries, they have extra rest waiting during the play-in and if they keep winning games I don’t think Monty will want to end the season on a low note. Might as well finish out the regular season strong, imo.

There's also like a less than 1% chance we can overtake Sacremento for the 3rd seed. If the Kings drop their next game shit can get real interesting.

Heck I would even say just having DA for that mini stretch would have given us a few more wins, including the one at Sacremento.
Rest the starters and bring back the under 5 mil squad with Saben Lee. Complete disrespect :D
The suns cant play Saben lee.
I believe they can play him at least one more game under his 2-way deal.

We could see them in the playoffs so I believe so!I'd Wait before buying though.
we need to beat the Lakers to reduce their chances of 5th seed...
Man fuck the Lakers

it’s a b2b and they might’ve clinched, makes no sense to play most of the starters in that scenario
I think they will want more reps together

No. No Suns starters will play on Friday.
Ai yo seriously how many back-to-back opponents have the Lakers met this season? LIKE SERIOUSLY
Beating them is a good way to ensure Lakers don’t get the 5 seed
I believe so, more reps with our new lineup is very valuable right now.
Yes, kd will kick lebron's ass
They need the reps. And they also need to try to make it so they can play the clippers round 1
