An NBA cross-conference clash gets underway this Tuesday as the Phoenix Suns welcome the Boston Celtics to the Mortgage Matchup Center. The Suns are seventh in the Western Conference standings, while the Celtics are second in the Eastern Conference. Here's our match prediction.
The Phoenix Suns come into this match off the back of a 92-77 home defeat against the Portland Trail Blazers on the second night of a back-to-back.
While that result marked their third defeat in four games, it came as little shock considering they were missing their top three players through injury. This included the likes of Devin Booker (hip), Dillon Brooks (hand), and Jordan Goodwin (calf).
The Suns will aim to return to the win column. They are set to play in the penultimate match of a four-game homestand. Their run at Mortgage Matchup Center has been anything but flawless with five defeats in seven games.
Labelling the Boston Celtics' recent form as 'good' is far too modest a description for a side that has been red-hot, winning their last three games.
Joe Mazzulla's men were involved in an 111-89 routing of the Los Angeles Lakers last time out. That result marked their eighth win in nine games.
This is the third of a three-game road trip, and the Celtics are seeking another positive outcome. It has been a great display away from home, winning their last four matches.
