Suns Face Jazz w/ 8-man Roster - Missing Nash, Marion, Hill
Fresh of an overtime victory over the Indiana Pacers last night, the Phoenix Suns entered tonight's game against the Utah Jazz extremely shorthanded. Steve Nash left last night's game with the stomach flu and is not playing tonight. Shawn Marion landed hard on his hip and has perhaps injured his shoulder, and of course, Grant Hill is out for about 2 weeks w/ an appendix removal.
The Jazz are currently in the 10th spot (Western Conf), but they're still a strong team and will probably dominate the depleted Suns' team. Amare Stoudemire must stay out of foul trouble in order for the Suns to even have a chance. Boris Diaw starts at power forward, while Marcus Banks starts at point guard and Leandro Barbosa starts at shooting guard. Guard Raja Bell moves to the small forward.
Good luck guys!
