Phoenix's first five games this season are against Dallas, Portland, Los Angeles Clippers, defending NBA champion Golden State and New Orleans.
Suns All-Star Devin Booker said he honestly didn't know who Phoenix plays after Wednesday's season opener against Dallas.Wednesday – vs. Dallas Mavericks.Tuesday, Oct. 25 – Golden State Warriors.So the Suns open against the team that abruptly ended their historic season.They face a healthy Kawhi Leonard and Zion Williamson and oh yeah, take on the defending NBA champions in between that.This stretch could serve as an early barometer for Phoenix.
Here’s a quick look at Phoenix’s first five opponents starting with the Mavs. The Suns can downplay it, but they know how anticipated this rematch is. “Everybody will make it something more than what it is,” Booker said “It'd be nice to win, but it's one out of 82. It just happens to be the team we got put out by. People are going to be coming in and saying revenge game, but whether we win by 30, lose by 30, we still have 81 more games to go."Record vs. Suns last regular season: 0-3.
Outlook: Jalen Brunson took his talents to New York, but Dallas still has Luka Doncic. The return of Tim Hardaway Jr. from injury could be huge.21-22 record: 27-55 .Outlook: Damian Lillard is still one of the game’s best players, but he needs help. Anfernee Simons is a star in waiting. 21-22 record: 42-40 .Outlook: Scary team. Deep, talented, but John Wall could be the X-factor. Played just 40 games total in the last three seasons, but he’s looking explosive.
Matchup with Suns: Klay Thompson is 100% after returning from injury last season. He’ll be a problem.Outlook: New Orleans have established a culture under Willie Green. Now they’re building upon it with C.J. McCollum and Brandon Ingram front and center.Have opinion about current state of the Suns? Reach Suns Insider Duane Rankin at
