Suns Look To Build On FIve-Game Streak
The Phoenix Suns play host to the Indiana Pacers at Footprint Center on Saturday evening.

This marks the first game back home after a perfect, 5-0, road trip for the Suns (35-9), as they will look to keep the momentum going in order to add to their, 17-5, home record. Deandre Ayton (ankle) missed the last two games and remains questionable for action on Saturday. If Ayton remains sidelined, the Suns will continue to rely on JaVale McGee to fill in key minutes. On the bright side, Chris Paul continues his strong play, averaging 12.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 10.6 assists and 1.8 steals, over the last 10 games. Devin Booker is averaging 27.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists, over the last 10 games. The Suns are averaging 112.5 points per game, which is third most in the league, and they are shooting an average of 47.5 percent from the field, which is second best in the league.

Meanwhile, this marks the fourth game of a five-game road trip for the Pacers (17-29), where they have gone, 2-1, so far, with a loss in L.A., against the Clippers, followed by consecutive wins in L.A., against the Lakers, and in Golden State. The Pacers will look to stay hot for a chance to add to their, 5-17. road record. Myles Turner (foot) has missed the last three games and will remain out through Saturday's action, which means another opportunity for Goga Bitadze to step up for extra playing time. Domantas Sabonis (ankle) missed the last game and will also remain out, while Malcolm Brogdon (achilles) and Caris LeVert (calf) are listed as questionable. If LeVert or Brogdon are sidelined, Chris Duarte will pick up some extra action. Duarte has been playing well lately, averaging 17.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 steals, over the last four games.
