*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday, February 2nd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, February 3rd.
Phoenix Suns
Under normal circumstances, Devin Booker might’ve been challenging to start in the All-Star Game but given the length of time he’s missed and the depth of backcourt talent in the West his exclusion from the team made sense.
Admittedly, Phoenix has looked better recently yet not to the degree of invincibility. Booker will make a difference when he returns, but in hindsight, it may have been a blessing in disguise for the Suns to get a first-hand look at how close they are to becoming a middle-of-the-pack team.
Stats
Phoenix averages 112.7 points per game ranking 21st while shooting 46.2% from the field and 38.84% from the perimeter ranking 22nd and fourth overall.
Defensively opponents score 111.8 points ranking fifth-best. Meanwhile, they limit opponent shooting to 47.0% from the field and 36.4% from the perimeter ranking 12th and 21st respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Devin Booker, SG (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Cameron Payne, PG (OUT indefinitely — foot)
- Landry Shamet PG (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Jae Crowder SF (OUT indefinitely — trade request)
Boston Celtics
All-Star starter, Jayson Tatum will be joined by his backcourt partner Jaylen Brown as he naturally should, having earned his spot with the team still possessing the best record in the association.
Given how less fluid and in sync the team is without Marcus Smart I’d argue he’s the true glue to this club and Tatum’s real Robin, but with only 12 players representing each side putting three from one team on a side is too many.
Especially considering Aaron Gordon (or Jamal Murray) didn’t make the cut in the West despite the Nuggets holding the top spot.
Stats
Boston claims the second-best point production averaging 118.2 points per game. In terms of efficiency, they shoot 47.4% from the field and 37.2% from the perimeter ranking 13th and eighth respectively.
Opponents average 112.0 points per game which ranked eighth. Celtics opponents are limited to 46.6% from the field and 35.2% from the perimeter which ranks eighth and ninth respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Marcus Smart, PG (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Danilo Gallinari, SF (OUT indefinitely — ACL)

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
Although the Suns were shorthanded in the initial meeting there is a decisive depth difference between the clubs when they’re at full health anyway. This is likely to be a more competitive match though so I’ll take the points — but the Bean Town crew to win.
