Confirmed Lineup: Eric Gordon, Grayson Allen, Keita Bates-Diop, Kevin Durant, Jusuf Nurkic
Devin Booker (calf) — Out
Bradley Beal (back) — Out
Damion Lee (knee) — Injured
On the second leg of a back-to-back set, the Suns rotation is still in flux with Booker in and out of the lineup and Beal yet to play this season. Coach Vogel said they were being cautious by holding Booker out of Saturday's game and that he had some soreness after playing 35 minutes on Thursday. As for Beal, he said there is "no change" in his status. Bates-Diop was inserted into the lineup over Josh Okogie, presumably to supplement the offense without Booker. If Booker can suit up, it's possible Okogie rejoins the starting lineup with him.

Klay Thompson (adductor) — In
If Thompson can't play, Gary Payton II could be the favorite to start. He's been in the closing lineup for the last three games and the team's posted a +20.9 Net Rating with him on the floor. He's averaged a team-high 1.8 steals this season and is tied for fourth league-wide with 6.7 deflections per 36 minutes.
Confirmed Lineup: Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen
Isaac Okoro (knee) — Out
Ty Jerome (ankle) — Out
Ricky Rubio (personal) — NWT
Despite Garland returning from a four-game absence, Mitchell continued to lead the team in usage (34.4%) and scored a game-high 38 points last game. His 34 frontcourt touches were also a team-high. In Allen's first game of the season, he logged a team-high 17.1% rebound rate, which is in line with his 17.8% rebound rate in games with Mobley last season.
Confirmed Lineup: LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Gordon Hayward, PJ Washington, Mark Williams
Terry Rozier (groin) — Out
Miles Bridges (suspension) — Out
Frank Ntilikina (leg) — Injured
James Bouknight (knee) — Injured
Cody Martin (knee) — Injured
On the second leg of a back-to-back set, the team could potentially be without Rozier, who didn't return Saturday after suffering a strained left groin. Brandon Miller was in the closing lineup in that game and would be a favorite to start, but Theo Maledon could be in consideration as well. Bryce McGowens would likely crack the rotation for the first time this season as well. The team has logged a 119.9 offensive rating in 78 minutes with Hayward and Miller on the floor together.
Confirmed Lineup: Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones Jr., Grant Williams, Dereck Lively II

Portland's allowed the second-most points in the paint (56.3) per game this season, and it's a likely point of attack for the Grizzlies on Sunday. Roddy (70.2%) and Tillman (68.0%) score most of their points in the paint. Bane is scoring 68.1% of his points off of a team-high 11.5 drives per game.
