Phoenix @ Boston

Current Records: Phoenix 17-24; Boston 27-13

What to Know

The Phoenix Suns will square off against the Boston Celtics at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at TD Garden. Phoenix has been getting the ball to fall more lately as they've increased their point totals each of their last three games.

Although neither team could take care of the ball -- they combined for 37 turnovers -- the Suns prevailed over the New York Knicks 121-98 on Thursday. The oddsmakers were on the Suns' side, but they didn't give the team enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide.

Meanwhile, Boston was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Thursday as they fell 128-123 to the Milwaukee Bucks. SF Gordon Hayward wasn't much of a difference maker for Boston and finished with only seven points on 1-for-10 shooting in his 32 minutes on the court.

Phoenix's win lifted them to 17-24 while Boston's loss dropped them down to 27-13. We'll see if Phoenix can repeat their recent success or if Boston bounces back and reverse their fortune.
