The Indiana Pacers host the Phoenix Suns with Bradley Beal's availability uncertain due to a hip injury. The Pacers aim to extend their undefeated streak in the new year, while the Suns struggle to find consistency.
The Indiana Pacers will face the Phoenix Suns in their 36th game of the season and their second game of the new year. The Pacers are undefeated in the new year and aim to continue this trend against the Suns on Saturday. This will be the second and final matchup between the two teams this season, with the Pacers hosting the Suns. The Pacers are favored in this game, and things might be easier for them as Suns star Bradley Beal is listed as questionable due to a hip injury.
Beal was at risk of missing the Suns' first game of the new year. However, he participated in a shootaround and will play against the Pacers. Beal suffered a left hip contusion in the Suns' previous game against the Memphis Grizzlies, forcing him out early. His participation in the shootaround is generally a positive sign that he will play on Saturday. Beal has averaged 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from three-point range in 22 games. The 31-year-old has struggled with injuries, missing 10 games so far and potentially his 11th game. In his last appearance, he played only 12 minutes and recorded three points, two assists, one rebound, one steal, and one foul while shooting 20 percent from the field. Despite Beal's contributions, the Suns have not been performing well lately, losing nine of their last 12 games. After starting the season with an 8-1 record, the Suns have been on a downward trend due to injuries sustained by their superstar, Kevin Durant. The Suns are currently at the bottom of the competitive Western Conference with a 15-17 record, holding the 11th seed. The Pacers, on the other hand, will be seeking their second consecutive win and their 18th victory of the season
