Booker Lacking Help as Suns Season Hangs in Balance

\"\"

Phoenix currently sits two and a half games behind the Dallas Mavericks for the tenth seed spot in the West. Phoenix has lost 6 straight, and their playoff hopes are quickly dwindling. With the regular season ending on Sunday, the Suns will have a tough task in front of them to take down a Warriors team that has won seven of their last 10 games.

The Suns are coming off of a critical loss to the New York Knicks 112-98 on Sunday. Devin Booker had 40 points in the contest but the addition of Bradley Beal from injury hasn’t been enough to get this team over the hump. They will still be short-handed in Tuesday’s late game as the team has already announced that Kevin Durant will not be available again due to an ankle sprain. Durant hasn’t played for the Suns since injuring his ankle on March 30.

Golden State’s Poise and Experience Proving Invaluable In Playoff Stretch

The Golden State Warriors have been on a stable course to the postseason. They have been able to lean on their veterans and the cohesion of their roster’s core. This prevented this team from coming unraveled when former Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler was traded to the Bay this season. It is known that the race in the Western Conference is going to come down to the very last dribble.

The Warriors look primed to remove the Suns from contention tonight. Golden State just had a five-game winning streak snapped by the Rockets on Sunday night. Steph Curry struggled in that game, he was held to only 3 points on 1-10 shooting attempts in the game. Surely, this will be an anomaly for Chef Steph, as his number should trend back towards some form of production.
