This should help defensively, though we haven't beat Denver this year even with him:

The Suns are expecting to be helped by the return by forward Grant Hill, who has missed three consecutive games because of a sore right knee after a two-game comeback from arthroscopic surgery.

Maybe it will help slow down one of their scorers a bit if Hill is able to move with that knee.

Aaron Afflalo has 50 pts in 2 games vs PHX this season...enough said.

I guess we all know who Grant Hill will be guarding.

Grant Hill out again. This guy is showing his TRUE colors. No wonder why Pistons AND Magic fans hate him so much.

What?! This guy has absolutely killed himself for the Suns. Piston fans hate him because he signed with Orlando.

I think age is finally getting to him and he would do well to retire, but none of that is anything he can help.

When the Nuggets pulled out the April 6 win, the Suns missed their final nine shots to lose a three-point lead. It came against a Denver small lineup that the Suns will probably see in crunch time again tonight. This version would have Al Harrington or Kenneth Faried at the five, Danilo Gallinari (in his first game against the Suns this season, he is coming off an 0-for-7 game) at the four, Arron Afflalo at the three and a pair of point guards – Andre Miller and Ty Lawson. Denver has the fastest pace in the league as it is but will run even more with that group, especially releasing players early off the weak side of their defense when a long shot goes up.

Let's see if dum*** Gentry actually decides to go small vs their small unit instead of trying to play big and losing...AGAIN!

Is Lopez playing tonight? I read earlier today that Gentry said he is playing, and I hope he is. We really could use a big man to battle with the Nuggets' physicality.

Nash with 9 assists in the 1st, passes Oscar Robertson for 5th all time in assists.

@Budden Yes, Lopez is playing

Suns up 34-30 after the 1st quarter.

Gortat with 13 pts, Brown 11. Nash with 0 shot attempts, but has 9 assists.

Suns looking good so far.

Morris stop getting intimidated by Faried!!! We all know Faried is way better but that doesn't mean you can't be good too!

Grant Hill, with all the injuries he battled, it's amazing that he actually still manages to play at all, let alone on the NBA level. The guy is 40, and with this packed season, it is no surprise that he's out. C'mon, you can't blame the guy like that

Why the hell do the refs hate Lopez all of a sudden?

Seriously is it because he put a beating on NBA's poster boy Blake Griffin? Jeez!

JaMarcus would've thrown it at his feet instead :)
