Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant remains out with a left ankle sprain for the Tuesday, April 8, game against the Golden State Warriors at PHX Arena to begin a three-game homestand.
The Suns play NBA-best Oklahoma City (64-14) on Wednesday, April 9, in the second of a back-to-back.
Durant suffered the injury on March 30 against Houston. He'll miss his fourth straight game Tuesday after he didn't travel with the Suns (35-43) on their three-game road trip.
Phoenix is amid a season-worst, six-game losing skid.
Suns big Nick Richards is listed as probable with right elbow soreness after he managed just five points and two rebounds in 25 minutes of Sunday's 112-98 loss to the New York Knicks.
With four games left, Phoenix trails Dallas by two and a half games for the 10th and final seed in the West. The Mavericks have three games left.
The Suns need to go 3-1 in their last four games and have Dallas (38-41) drop its last three games to end with the same record. Phoenix holds the tiebreaker over the Mavs.
The Warriors (46-32) are sixth in the West looking to avoid the play-in.
