The Phoenix Suns (22-21) begin their three-game homestand against the lowly Washington Wizards (6-37) on Saturday.
Phoenix is notably coming off of an ugly loss at the hands of the NBA-best Cleveland Cavaliers, but the silver lining is that the Nets are currently boasting a 14-29 record and that the roster largely remains healthy going into the matchup. There are only two names on the current injury report, and the names have been mainstays over the last week.
The Suns are currently 8-13 on the road with a point differential of -2, while the Nets have a 1-9 record in their last ten games at home.
The Brooklyn Nets retired Hall of Famer Vince Carter's No. 15 jersey on Saturday.

No. 15 Carter is going up there, but we’re going up there together," he added.
Devin Booker scored a game-high 32 points and Kevin Durant registered 24 points in his second game at Brooklyn against his former team to lead Phoenix (22-21) back above .500.
