Suns @ Rockets Wednesday game thread 2-12-2024

[Yuma]

Looking at who is in and out for both teams, and it looks like both teams are taking the night off!

 

[Mainstreet]

Will Gillespie play or is he with the G league? Probably hurt like the rest

Collin Gillespie is not listed on the injury report, so he should be available if he traveled with the team.

Now that you mention him, it is interesting that Tyty got the minutes last night before Gillespie.

I figured the Suns wanted someone that could keep up with Ja Morant defensively and who could push the pace.

I'm a fan of both players, but I think Gillespie has classic point guard skills, plus he who can shoot.

IMO, Collin has a career in the NBA, whereas Ty Ty has some of the same limitations of Saban Lee unless he can improve his outside shot.

This kid needs to stick to what his skillset is right now. We saw two amazing spinning shots that left his defenders in the dust. He needs to not hesitate when he sees his side of the court open and use those moves. On defense I was watching him against Ja Morant and Morant kept trying to get in the lane for his push shots, etc, and TyTy stayed right in front of him forcing the pass. If you can stay in front of Ja, that should give you confidence on the defensive end.

Alperen Sengun will start for the Rockets.

There we go Gillespie. He is sneaky around the basket.
