Phoenix Suns will lock horns against Indiana Pacers in NBA 2021-22 on Sunday, 23 January 2022 at 07:30 AM IST
The Pacers come into this game high on confidence after their 121-117 overtime win over the Golden State Warriors. Chris Duarte starred on the night, with 27 points. This was the teams second consecutive win on the road, and will give them confidence for the tough fixtures ahead.
The Indiana Pacers have not had the best of campaigns so far. However, their performances in the last two games might have given them a huge boost to get their season back on track.
The team has one of the toughest schedules in the league, so will have to be at their best to keep their campaign on track.
Their main player, Domantas Sabonis, suffered an ankle injury against the Lakers, and will miss this game now. Despite missing his services, the team managed a stunning win over the Warriors. Now they will look to pull out something similar against the Suns on Saturday.
Chris Duarte has been one of the best rookies in the 2021 draft class. He averages 13.5 PPG and 4.1 RPG in 38 appearances. The 24-year-old has established himself as a regular starter. With other stars like Sabonis and Myles Turner out, Duarte will have to be at his best to the lead the Pacers to a win on the night.
The Phoenix Suns have once again proven to be one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
They hold a 35-9 record, and comfortably sit atop in the West. Chris Paul and Devin Booker have been at the top of their game since the start of the season. That has helped the Suns put up dominant performances.
Apart from the in-form backcourt duo, the team also has other stars like Mikal Bridges, Cameron Payne and Jae Crowder, all of whom have made significant contributions to the team. With 37 games remaining in the regular season, the Suns will be keen to rack up more wins and enter the playoffs as the top seed in the West.
Devin Booker has been a man on a mission this season. He has had some terrific performances, and has elevated his game to the next level.
The 25-year-old averages 24.6 PPG on 44.7% shooting from the field. Booker has been an important part of the team during their ongoing five-game winning streak. He will hope to keep contributing similarly as the season progresses, and help the Suns have another successful campaign.
