Phoenix Suns Starters vs. Miami Heat Revealed

PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns hope to get back in the win column on Saturday night against the Miami Heat.

To do this, they will set up the following starting lineup:

Tyus Jones
Bradley Beal
Devin Booker
Royce O’Neale
Mason Plumlee

Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic remain out for the remainder of the team’s East Coast road trip, while rookie Ryan Dunn was questionable before the game but was ruled out early.

O’Neale gets the starting job in place of Durant, while Plumlee again gets the starting five-man spot with Nurkic out.

Jones is one of three Suns players, along with O’Neale and Booker, to have played in all 21 games.

Jones scored a whopping 13 points with five rebounds, six assists and two steals in Phoenix’s last game – a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. Jones has scored more than 10 points in the last seven of eight nights.

Beal missed eight games in the 2023-24 season due to injury, but is healthy tonight after suffering a scare on Thursday in which he twisted his ankle before remaining in the game. He finished the night with 24 points.

Booker has been putting up some incredible scoring numbers lately, as he has scored 26+ points in the last six of seven games – three of which went for 31 or more.

The Suns have only won their last three of 10 games – four of those losses were by 10 points or less.

Opening tip between the Suns and Heat is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Arizona time.
