The Suns rolling into Charlotte presents a fascinating backcourt battle between Devin Booker and Terry Rozier. Phoenix has found a rhythm lately, winning seven of their last ten, including a tight one against the Thunder where Booker dropped 35 points. The Hornets, meanwhile, have been a bit up and down, splitting their last six games, though LaMelo Ball is dishing out nearly 8 assists a night.
Here's the thing: Phoenix is desperate for every win to avoid the play-in tournament. They just beat a good Denver team. The Hornets are playing spoiler, but the Suns' top-end talent, especially Booker, is just too much. Phoenix takes this one by a comfortable margin. Suns win 118-107.
