Game Preview: Suns host Hornets in first matchup since Miles Bridges trade
The Phoenix Suns (4-6) host the Charlotte Hornets (4-7) tonight at 7:00 pm Arizona Time at Mortgage Matchup Center. This matchup features several former players, as Miles Bridges, Grayson Allen, and Royce O’Neale return to their previous teams.
The Suns will look to leverage their depth and a strong bench performance against a depleted Hornets squad missing Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, and Dennis Schroder due to injury.
Devin Booker leads a Phoenix offense that ranks sixth in the league for assists and three-point shooting. The Hornets recently ended a six-game skid with a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, powered by 52 combined points from Naz Reid and Grayson Allen.
Phoenix will need to stop Coby White, Allen, and Reid to secure a win before facing the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
