Timberwolves @ Suns 12-15-19

[Mainstreet]

On Saturday the Timberwolves visit the Suns.

The Wolves are on a three game losing streak while the Suns broke their ten game losing streak with a 99-89 win over the Mavericks on Thursday.

The game will be televised on FSAZ with a scheduled start time of 7 p.m. Arizona time.

Here is a game preview from Duane Rankin at azcentral:


Outlook: The Suns (5-24) ended a seven-game losing skid in their 99-89 victory Thursday over Dallas at Talking Stick Resort Arena, their second win over the Mavericks this season. Now, they have their first matchup of the season with the 13-15 Timberwolves. … Devin Booker (hamstring) has missed the last six games and is questionable. Josh Jackson (toe) is questionable as well. … T.J. Warren is coming off of a 30-point performance against Dallas, his high-scoring game of the season. … Minnesota is riding a two-game win streak. Center Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging a double-double, with 21.5 points and 11.8 rebounds. … After Sunday, Phoenix will head on a five-game road trip on the east coast.

I hope Devin only plays if he's at 100% That's probably not realistic but I would rather him have confidence in his body before coming back, especially since the win against Dallas takes the heat off a bit.

With the trade the Suns just made tonight, I am left to wonder if they are going to shelve Booker for the season.

I am with you. I don't want him playing if he is not at 100%. While I don't like losing, I'd rather lose a couple more games than risk further injury.

Reports are that Ariza will not play tonight. Need canned laughter here.

 

[Mainstreet]

It looks like Booker could play tonight. I guess we will find out later.

If we can put Belanger at shortstop and Davey Johnson at 2nd base, I'm in.

He's got the reach, Boog Ayton it is.

Or some babbling brooks for scenery.

I heard we got a pair of guys, Brooks Brothers. Supposedly some stylish dudes.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm hoping Eric Moreland gets an opportunity to play tonight. I understand he is an energy player.

Melton with a lob play to Bridges results in two free throws.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nice pass by Booker to Ayton slicing to the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton already with two personal fouls at the 9:19 of the 1st quarter.

Booker playing more off the ball and knocks down two catch and shoot jumpers.

 

[SirStefan32]

Booker looks good.
