Second-year forward Ryan Dunn is set to make his sixth straight start for the Suns, who have won three in a row and are tied for the 10th seed. In his last five games, Dunn has scored in double digits every time, averaging 14.4. He's an excellent finisher who's earning the trust of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Dunn has made at least two treys in each of those starts. He's also a defensive whiz, so his minutes are fairly consistent. Bradley Beal will miss his fourth straight game, meaning the Suns need to look for offense beyond Durant and Booker. Back Dunn to keep doing what's he's doing in an important matchup against Mike Budenholzer's former team.

No question, the Suns are in a playoff drive, winners in four of five, and suddenly in the last West play-in spot with a tiebreaker edge over Dallas. The current uptick includes a rousing 123-112 win over the Cavs on Friday when Kevin Durant offered a 42-point showcase as Phoenix blistered the nets at better than 52%. That marked the second straight game where a Sun scored 40+; Devin Booker netted 41 in the 127-121 win vs. the Bulls. Meanwhile, the Bucks caught a break Thursday vs. a reserve Lakers side then watched Sactown go ice cold in the 4th quarter on Saturday after decisive losses to OKC and Golden State. Dame Lillard (calf) also expected out again tonight. Play Suns.
