Suns Schedule: The Week That Will Be: Feb 9-15
One game this week, then a 10-day All-Star break for the Suns (other than Isaiah Thomas who will be off to NYC for the All-Star Skills Challenge). But the one game this week will be a tough test.
Tues, Feb 10th vs Houston
Rockets center Dwight Howard will be out a month after injuring his ankle last time the Suns tangled with Houston, so that’s one less worry for Phoenix heading into this matchup. But his absence hasn’t slowed Houston one bit, as including their win over Phoenix when Howard first went down, they’ve gone 6-2. Kevin McHale‘s squad is among the league leaders in offensive and defensive rating, and James Harden has emerged as one of the top candidates for MVP this season.
Projected record for the week: 0-1
