Hoping to extend their winning streak to 6 games, the Phoenix Suns will face off against the Chicago Bulls tonight at 7 p.m.
This will be the Suns final home game before they embark on a 7-game road trip that features a handful of tough opponents such as the Mavericks, Pacers, Magic, and Heat.
But focusing on tonight, Frank Vogel confirmed that his squad will be without Eric Gordon due to a wrist injury. This day off could be for the best, considering Gordon’s recent struggles from beyond the arc. Typically one of the Suns best three-point shooters, Gordon is in the middle of an 8/39 (.205) stretch. This includes a 0/5 night from deep against the Pacers on Sunday.
Elsewhere on the injury front, Grayson Allen will be a gametime decision. On the bright side, Vogel is hopeful that Allen will be able to play. Allen injured his left knee in the 1st quarter last night. The Suns are 2-3 in games that Allen has missed this season.
Bol Bol will remain out due to a right foot sprain.
Entering this matchup, the Bulls have won 6 of their last 8 games, bringing them two wins shy of .500. On the road, they hold a 7-13 record.
