Tribute for Robert Reid before the Rockets first home game since his passing, followed by a moment of silence. The man was a joy, a pleasure to be around, and a fine player, too. RIP – 8:05 PM

Bradley Beal (hamstring) pregame.
Will miss 3rd straight Friday at #Rockets with injury suffered last week vs. Kings.
#Suns vs. #Lakers Sunday in Phoenix. Hamstrings tricky, but that’s an ideal time to return.
Phoenix does has 3 days between Lakers and Thursday vs. Houston. pic.twitter.com/kR1EnZUjz7 – 7:42 PM

The Booker-EG-Grayson-KD-Eubanks lineup the Suns will start tonight is a -14 in 46 minutes together so far this season. They’ve been solid offensively (120.6 offensive rating), but have struggled on the other end (133.0 defensive rating) – 7:18 PM

Frank Vogel said Bradley Beal didn’t progress enough from Thursday to go.
Jusuf Nurkic hurt ankle Wednesday practice. Played thru it Thursday. Sore before, worse after, swelled.
Both possible Sunday vs. #Lakers.

Since the loss on Christmas, the Suns have a 13.1 net rating when Jusuf Nurkic is on the floor. That’s the best among everyday Suns rotation players over that span. When he’s off the floor, it drops to a -1.0 net rating. Tough test tonight without him and Beal if both are out. – 2:25 PM
