The Phoenix Suns are 17-15 and presently in 8th place in the Western Conference after a win over the Orlando Magic on New Year’s Eve, with a 15th-ranked net rating of 0.9. They’ve put together a three-game winning streak and things are starting to look up for a team that has been mediocre tho start the season.
Health has been a primary concern early in the year, but before the game against the Charlotte Hornets last Friday, the tide turned. Bradley Beal recently returned from his multi-week absence due to an ankle sprain, in addition to Jusuf Nurkic returning from a stint away, due to personal reasons.
