The Phoenix Suns could be down two stars in Wednesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings.
on Sunday in an overtime thriller, but it was not a fairytale story for the Kings. Early in the second quarter, star sixth man Malik Monk went down with an ankle injury, which is expected to sideline him for at least two weeks, ruling him out for some significant matchups.
Now, after losing to San Antonio, the Kings return to their home court to host the Suns, looking to repeat their success from three days ago.The Suns were playing without superstar forward Kevin Durant in their loss to the Kings a few days ago, as they leaned on their star backcourt of Devin Booker and Bradley Beal in his place.
If the Suns were to be without Beal, along with Durant, on Wednesday, the Suns might be in trouble. Phoenix pulled out a road win over theon Tuesday, so they come into Golden 1 Center on the second leg of a back-to-back. The 9-2 Suns will likely prioritize their long-term health over a single divisional game, so expect Phoenix to restrict or sideline Beal if he is not 100 percent.
The Kings will be without Monk for the second consecutive game, as their bench unit really struggled without him on Monday. Sacramento's bench contributed just 21 points in Monday's loss with no bench spark to come in and lead the offense. Both the Kings and Suns are a bit banged up heading into Wednesday's matchup, but Sacramento has a clear-cut opportunity to hand Phoenix their second loss in four days.
