The Phoenix Suns are on the road on Monday night as they travel to take on the Utah Jazz in a Western Conference matchup. Phoenix enters Monday’s contest looking for their second victory of the season after losing back-to-back games to the Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets. In Saturday’s loss to Denver, Devin Booker led the way for Phoenix as he ended the game with 31 points and seven rebounds while Grayson Allen added 17 points, four rebounds and five assists of his own. Now the Suns will try to end their two-game losing skid on Monday night on the road as they travel to face the Jazz. On the other side, the Jazz also enter Monday’s game looking for their second victory of the season as they try to bounce back after their loss to the Sacramento Kings on Friday. Lauri Markkanen led the way for Utah in Friday’s loss as he recorded 33 points and four rebounds while Keyonte George ended the game with 18 points and 10 assists. While both squads are looking to grab their second victory of the season in Monday’s matchup, both teams may be without some of their key players due to injuries. Suns Injury Report, Will Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks Play? For Phoenix, they have two players listed on their injury report as they have listed Dillon Brooks as questionable and have ruled out Jalen Green. Brooks is listed as questionable due to a right groin injury and if he is sidelined, Royce O’Neale and Ryan Dunn could both be in line for a larger role against the Jazz. For Green, he remains sidelined due to a right hamstring strain that cost him the entire preseason and the start of the season as he has yet to make his Suns debut. The good news for Phoenix is that Mark Williams will be available for Monday’s game after sitting out Saturday’s loss to Denver due to knee injury management. Jazz Injury Report, Will Isaiah Collier Play? On the other side, the Jazz have two players listed on their injury report as they have ruled out both Isaiah Collier and Georges Niang. For Collier, he remains sidelined due to a right hamstring strain while Georges Niang is out due to a left foot injury. With these two players sidelined, Utah will need others to step up in their absence alongside Markkanen, George and Walker Kessler as they seek their second victory of the season.
