The final push before the playoffs is here, but it’s not very dramatic for the Boston Celtics. In fact, they’ve already clinched the NBA’s best record with six games left on the schedule and established themselves as the team to beat. Since the Celtics are the betting favorite to bring home a championship, every other […]

There are no set matchups yet ahead of the NBA playoffs due to the fact that the standings in both the Eastern and Western Conferences are changing each and every night. A total of 12 games will be played on Friday night, 10 of which will directly impact the race to the playoffs across the […]

Isaiah Thomas might be on the Phoenix Suns the rest of the season.  Saturday, Thomas earned his second 10-day contract. ClutchPoints asked Devin Booker, the Suns’ star guard, what Thomas has meant to the team. “The ultimate teammate, ultimate professional, just ultimate hooper,” said Booker, who is averaging 27.6 points and 6.9 assists in his […]

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was asked about his lackluster defense at Wednesday’s shootaround prior to the Suns’ game against the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night at Footprint Center.  Statistically, Booker – who is averaging 27.4 points and a career-best 6.9 assists, taking on a bigger role offensively and adjusting to a player at his same […]

The Sacramento Kings are in a battle for playoff positioning. The Kings are currently the eighth seed. If the season ended, they’d be in the top half of the play-in bracket, which is fine. They are just 1.5 games behind the New Orleans Pelicans for the sixth seed in the West, which is good. However, […]

Devin Booker did it again, “it” meaning 50 points or more against the New Orleans Pelicans. Booker’s performance was downright historic. The Phoenix Suns superstar is the first NBA player to score at least 50 points in three consecutive games against the same opponent since Wilt Chamberlain back in the 1960s. Willie Green credited Booker […]

Kevin Durant is one of the most lethal scorers in NBA history, making him a star that is a no-doubt Basketball Hall of Famer. In his NBA career, Durant has garnered two NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and an NBA MVP. He is also a 14-time NBA All-Star. But while Durant has accomplished plenty in […]

Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns are in the middle of their most difficult stretch of the season. Coming off a 25-point demolition at the hands of the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander-less Oklahoma City Thunder, the Suns figured out the hard way that there was no rest for the weary, as they took on the New Orleans […]

Devin Booker is one of the best players in the NBA. To some, he is one of the top-5 since he has accomplished in the playoffs what had only been done previously by Michael Jordan. Booker, at age 24, scored the most points by a player ever in their first playoff run (602). In 2022, […]

The Phoenix Suns are fighting for their playoff lives. They are not shying away from the possibility of even missing the postseason. “We got eight more games left. Hopefully, we get an opportunity to play in the postseason,” said superstar forward Kevin Durant, who needs to play defense and lead by example. “Take it a […]

The New Orleans Pelicans (45-29) cannot clinch a spot in the Western Conference’s fourth versus fifth first-round series this week but they can sure lose any hopes of appearing in it. Willie Green’s group is just 1-2 amid a six-game homestand and losing ground in the NBA Playoffs race. The first week of April is […]

Kevin Durant has addressed pretty much every basketball kind of problem. The Phoenix Suns have one, facing a brutal eight-game stretch of playoff teams. The Suns have been inconsistent in the regular season but can avoid the play-in round with star play from their leader. “It’s a good tune-up for us when you’re playing against […]

The moment Isaiah Thomas walked into the Phoenix Suns’ 5G Permorance Facility, he knew things were different. “Ten years ago went by so fast, it don’t even look like the same city,” said Thomas. Thomas played in 2014-15 with former Suns Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe and P.J. Tucker. Phoenix finished below .500 but Thomas, who […]

Phoenix Suns are looking for someone to step up in the 2024 NBA playoffs. Drew Eubanks has not been that guy. Unfortunately for the Suns’ rotation — which has suffered tremendously in plus/minus with Eubanks, who is the only player on their roster with a negative plus-minus — Eubanks is on the depth chart ahead […]

Phoenix Suns were obliterated by the OKC Thunder without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. ClutchPoints deemed the Thunder, who are a rising team with a starting lineup averaging 22.8 years old, the toughest matchup for Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and the Suns. Assuming Phoenix advances to the first-round of the playoffs by qualifying or getting past the play-in, […]

Phoenix Suns fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder without their leader, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, on Friday night, 128-103. The Suns beat the No. 1 seed in the West, the Denver Nuggets, on Wednesday but were unable to play the same way against the Thunder. After the game, Kevin Durant spoke with AZCentral’s Duane Rankin about the […]

The Phoenix Suns are planning to sign point guard Isaiah Thomas to a second 10-day contract, according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. Thomas, a two-time All-Star, has his final day of his first 10-day contract Friday, when the Suns play the second-place team in the West, the OKC Thunder. Isaiah Thomas putting in […]

Without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Phoenix Suns have an opportunity to beat the No. 2 seed in the West, the OKC Thunder, on the road Friday. Phoenix just beat the top-seed Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena one game after losing to the last-place team in its conference, the San Antonio Spurs, who did not have Victor […]

The Suns were led by Kevin Durant, who they traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and five […]

The careers of Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal and Boston Celtics stalwart Jayson Tatum will forever be intertwined even though they entered the NBA five years apart. Beal and Tatum are close friends from childhood, growing together in St. Louis (even going together to the same high school), and now, they have become two of […]

The NBA’s best 3-point shooter by percentage (49.4) plays basketball for the Phoenix Suns. No, it’s not Kevin Durant or Devin Booker. It’s starting guard Grayson Allen, who the Suns traded for just under a month prior to the start of the regular season. “He’s a hell of a basketball player in so many ways,” […]

The Phoenix Suns had two starters suffer injuries in their shocking 104-102 loss to the 15th seed in the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs, without Victor Wembanyama on Monday. Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic went down with an ankle injury in the third quarter, and Bradley Beal suffered a right finger sprain. Both of the […]

Kevin Durant did not have a field-goal attempt in the first quarter of the Phoenix Suns’ “unacceptable” loss to the San Antonio Spurs Monday night. Durant had a third-quarter outburst with 15 points on 6-of-6 shooting but was not the primary initiator for the Suns in the fourth.  3 things. 1. Royce O'Neale helped off […]

Recently, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns suffered one of their more frustrating defeats of the season against the San Antonio Spurs, who were playing without Victor Wembanyama, out for the game due to an ankle injury. Making matters more embarrassing for the Suns was the fact that they had just blown out that same […]

On Monday evening, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns suffered arguably their most frustrating loss of the season to a San Antonio Spurs squad that was playing without the services of their rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama, who missed the game with an ankle injury. Despite the Suns knocking off the Spurs just two nights prior–with […]

In the old playoff format, this matchup between the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets may have been a preview of the first round of the playoffs. Instead, the No.8-seed Suns are trying to stay in eighth place to get two shots at advancing past the play-in. The eighth seed isn’t their ceiling, as they are […]

With Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, the Phoenix Suns have high championship aspirations this season. Unfortunately, this fearful trio has not led the Suns to a whole lot of success during the regular season, as they have once again fallen into the play-in region of the Western Conference standings following a shocking 104-102 […]

Without generational talent Victor Wembanyama and facing a team that had just beaten them by 25 points, the San Antonio Spurs shocked a Phoenix Suns team that’s playing for playoff seeding down the stretch of the NBA regular season. Give the credit to payback as a reason for the 104-102 stunner. “We got blown out […]

Phoenix Suns guard Isaiah Thomas is yet to play more than two minutes in his first 10-day contract period with the team. Suns coach Frank Vogel was asked by AZCentral.com’s Duane Rankin what Thomas has done to this point in his contract. “Pickup games he’s played in, he’s looked really good,” said the 2020 NBA […]

The San Antonio Spurs just lost by 25 points to the same Phoenix Suns team they’ll play again Monday. They’ll potentially be without their best player in trying to knock off a squad that’s going for its fourth straight win and eighth in the last eleven games. Still, the Spurs, whose legendary head coach all […]

When the San Antonio Spurs beat the Phoenix Suns in consecutive road games to end October and start November, they stood at 3-2 after Victor Wembanyama had exploded for 38 points in a coming out party of sorts. Five months later, in the middle of another mini two-game series against the Suns, the now 15-56 […]

There was little the San Antonio Spurs could do against the Phoenix Suns in a 131-106 loss Saturday night. Just ask their head coach. “They [the Spurs] did the best they could. I thought we had a little more contact and physicality in the second half,” head coach Gregg Popovich said. “But you’re not going […]

Bradley Beal has improved his playmaking, finishing with a team-high 12 assists in the Phoenix Suns’ 131-106 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Beal, whose natural position is shooting guard, is taking over the point position from Devin Booker. Suns coach Frank Vogel praised Beal, who has missed 19 games due to injury but found […]
