Phoenix: De’Anthony Melton, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, T.J. Warren, Deandre Ayton
Toronto: Kyle Lowry, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam, Serge Ibaka
KEY MATCHUP
Ayton vs. Ibaka
The seven-foot-one Phoenix rookie already has 12 games of 20-plus points and 10-plus rebounds, and plays an old-school inside game that will challenge Ibaka’s interior presence.
NEED TO KNOW
The plan Wednesday night was to have Kawhi Leonard play again Thursday, which would represent his first back-to-back appearances of the season. But plans have a way of changing and nothing is 100 per cent certain … At 11-34, Phoenix has the worst record in the Western Conference.
