With Durant out, not only do the Suns miss his 26 ppg, they miss his defense. At 6-11, KD is not only a great rim protector, but he’s also quick enough to be a very good on-ball defender and a weak-side shot blocker. So, it’s no surprise that in the 1.5 games he’s missed, their opponents have put up 148 to the Rockets and 133 to the Bucks. Neither one of those teams averages as much as the Celtics 116.4 ppg. Hard to see where enough offense or defense is going to come from for Phoenix tonight.
