[Mainstreet]

Next, the Suns play the Jazz two games in a row. They play on Monday in Phoenix and Wednesday in Salt Lake City.

Jazz are 30-16. They play at the Warriors on Sunday so they will be playing the Suns on the second night of back-to-back games.

Suns are 36-9 and have won six straight games.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona and NBA TV.

Start time is 7 p.m. Arizona time.

We probably will not know the injury status of Jae Crowder and Cam Payne until later today when injury reports are released.

Nervous on these injuries. Just as Payne was playing his way back into making a regular impact.

I read Payne hurt his right wrist, so both injuries are on non shooting hands.

I'm nervous as well and keep checking for injury updates.

Opposing defenses have adjusted to Payne's game and he was learning new ways to counter.

Better than their shooting hands but can still keep both out for a while, especially Cam since he’s got to handle the ball so much.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jae Crowder (left wrist contusion) and Cam Payne (right wrist sprain) are OUT.

On the surface it sounds better than I expected.

Deandre Ayton (right ankle sprain) is DOUBTFUL.

We won't have an idea how long Crowder and Payne are out until Monty speaks about it tomorrow.

Donovan Mitchell is expected to miss the game on Monday.

That is a huge relief. Far better than a broken bone or torn tendons.

The way Crowder bolted out of there I figured he knew it was something bad.

Rudy Gobert takes his hat off to Devin Booker's defensive effort

Thank God it doesn’t seem serious with Crowder

Any see Rudy Gobert praise Booker and his defense saying he wishes the Jazz were more like the suns

The Warriors beat the Jazz tonight 94-92.

I swear we have the most favorable schedule I have ever seen this year. we seem to always be catching the good teams we play on the back end of back to backs. I remember years past when the Lakers were playing well they would have those schedules. so maybe the league sets it up that way. I don't know, but I'm enjoying the advantage.

We have the most b2b’s involving a road game. I’m terms of strength of opponent it’s so hard to say with all the injuries and Covid stuff.

Seems to me this is a gently worded message meant for Donavan Mitchell

Book's defense is flying under the radar. That was the weakest part of his game. He is now a complete player and it is a joy to have him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Donovan Mitchell is officially OUT for the game tonight per Tony Jones.

Cam and Jae out.

 

[Covert Rain]

This won't be a normal game with all the people out. Man, I was looking forward to this a few weeks back too. The wife and I are looking at the schedule few weeks back and were going to go to this one but something else came up. We might wait until the team is healthy before going to another Suns game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is going to be really tough without Ayton, Cam and Jae, even with Donovan out.

Yep. Not really high on Elfrid manning all the backup minutes. I am concerned that CP3 will try to do too much. Got to protect that guy's body.
