Here are three questions entering the Suns-Minnesota Timberwolves game Tuesday at Footprint Center as Phoenix is on a four-game winning streak.

The Phoenix Suns face the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday at 7 p.m., at Footprint Center in the fourth of a six-game homestand.Will Chris Paul lead the NBA in assists again?

Steve Nash was 37 when led the NBA in assists at 11.4 in the 2010-11 season with Phoenix. Paul will be the same age at the end of the regular season, but he would’ve been 37 longer than Nash. However, Paul is averaging a career-low 9.3 points this season. The Suns have five players averaging double figures with backup big Jock Landale being the fifth at 10.5 a game.If the Suns continue to put up numbers with Paul not scoring as much, he can certainly lead the NBA in assists for a sixth time and make ageless history.Karl-Anthony Towns is a three-time All-Star, made All-NBA twice and won rookie of the year honors in the 2015-16 season.
