The Phoenix Suns are on the verge of a playoff spot, but they'll face a very tough opponent on Saturday when they go up against the San Antonio Spurs, the second-best team in the Western Conference.
The Suns picked up a huge win on Friday night over the Houston Rockets, but they'd love nothing more than to wrap up their Texas trip with a big win. A victory over the Spurs would make a huge statement as to the postseason legitimacy of the Phoenix team, but it will be a tall order no matter how you slice it.
Projected Lineups:
- Point guard: Steve Nash ---Tony Parker
- Shooting guard: Shannon Brown -- Danny Green
- Small forward: Jared Dudley -- Kawhi Leonard
- Power forward: Channing Frye -- Tim Duncan
- Center: Marcin Gortat --DeJuan Blair
- Key subs: Suns (Sebastian Telfair, Robin Lopez, Michael Redd). Spurs (Manu Ginobili, Patrick Mills, Boris Diaw).
The Suns game tips off at 6:00 p.m. Arizona time and will be televised on Fox Sports Arizona and ESPN. You can catch the radio broadcast on Arizona Sports 620. Bright Side of the Sun will have the live game thread.
