Where: Air Canada Centre, Toronto.

TV/radio: FSAZ/KTAR 98.7 FM

Update:

The Raptors are 14-7 and in third place in the Eastern Conference. This will be a return home for Phoenix interim coach Jay Triano, who was Toronto’s head coach from 2008-11. DeMar DeRozan, who played for Triano in Toronto, leads the Raptors in scoring (23.4 points), and guard Kyle Lowry is averaging 16.4 points and shooting 41.2 percent from 3-point range. The Raptors are scoring 110.9 points per game, fourth in the league. The Suns are allowing 115.8 points per game, worst in the league. Phoenix will be on a road back-to-back and is finishing up a six-game, 11-day road trip.

Len is questionable tonight.

Alex Len questionable tonight with left ankle sprain. Suns had been calling it soreness so he must have re-aggravated it last night

10:16 AM - 5 Dec 2017

 

[Ronin]

Go Suns!

 

[Carolinacacti]

Back to Back games against two of the top guard compos in the league. Booker just played 39min and Ulis will get pushed around.

 

[SirStefan32]

Len is questionable tonight.

I think his pride needs to heal after the unspeakable things Embid did to him yesterday.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Triano is only playing two of the three centers on any given night. Its really not a bad way to handle it.

Greg Monroe will start tonight. Len testing his ankle, Chandler might be held out. If he and Len can’t go Chriss will see some time at Center

Len is out here warming up. Looks like he’s moving OK

Len just told me his ankle is sore but he can play. So, I'd expect Chandler to be held out. Monroe will start.

 

[Mainstreet]

@Ronin

It sounds like Triano has his centers working out in the bullpen like baseball pitchers.

Whoever looks the best will start.

 

[Mainstreet]

It looks like Chandler will have the night off.

scott bordow‏Verified account@sbordow


Chandler did not come out with the rest of the Suns for warm-ups. have to believe he's out tonight

4:18 PM - 5 Dec 2017

 

[Mainstreet]

Chriss opens the scoring making a 3 point shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns get sloppy. Trail 10-7 early.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ulis with a sweet drive along baseline for two and then Chriss leaves his feet for a needless second personal foul.

 

[Mainstreet]

Alex Len is in the game. The Suns will need him tonight against a physical Raptors team.

 

[Phrazbit]

Well... this lineup let things get ugly fast.

 

[Mainstreet]

Mike James does not replace Ulis. It makes me curious.

scott bordow‏Verified account@sbordow


Interesting. Ulis comes out but no James. Booker at the point. James just 5 minutes last night, 2-way contract decision tomorrow

5:00 PM - 5 Dec 2017

 

[Mainstreet]

Great full court dribble down the court for the score by Jackson before the 1st quarter expires. I didn't think he had the time but he was quick.

Suns trail 36-23.

 

[Mainstreet]

Well... this lineup let things get ugly fast.

The Suns look a step late and not playing smart. They probably want to get home.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with a technical.

I'd keep the Alex Len playing tonight. He is very aggressive going to the basket. He also has 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 assist.

I’m tired of watchin Jarod Dandy.

Len is so freaking terrible around the rim.

Well, we get to watch Mike James.

 

[devilalum]

Well, we get to watch Mike James.

:thumbsdown:

I know he’s gonna have the entire gang out there before the nights over.
