With 57 games remaining in the 2023-2024 season, the Phoenix Suns are staring ahead to the 2nd toughest schedule in the NBA, only behind the Portland Trail Blazers.
Currently, the Suns, amid a plague of injuries, defensive miscues, and a turnover bug, are just 1 game above .500. This places them 10th in the Western Conference. So, if the season were to end today, they would be the final team to make it in the play-in tournament.
Certainly not how many expected the season to begin for a team that had the 3rd-best odds to win the NBA Finals just two months ago.
