@ByTimReynolds
All we have this week in the NBA is the CBA opt-out deadline (probably) getting pushed back by the league and the union, Mat Ishbia officially taking over in Phoenix, LeBron passing Kareem, the trade deadline and Kyriepalooza.
Also, games. – 9:30 AM

@omarisankofa
The Pistons are comfortable with a quiet trade deadline. Should they be?
Weighed the pros and cons of selling high on Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks now. Feb. 9 will solidify Detroit’s priorities for 2023-24.

Another good win for the Suns, especially because of the progress we’re seeing from DA, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson.

Geez. Ridiculous.”
Mikal Bridges on Deandre Ayton’s 31 and 16.
“I didn’t know he was 13-of-15. I remember I looked up and it was like 27 and 16 and I was like, no wonder I got two rebounds.”
Yep, Ayton was watching from a distance, and laughing. #Suns #Pistons pic.twitter.com/nbsWfApzPr – 11:31 PM

“He gave us the game plan. That’s what he told us to do. If we weren’t doing it. He was going to be on our ass. I’ll just tell you that, but other than that, Mont is a dude where he wants to exhaust teams thinking they can switch on us.” Deandre Ayton on Monty Williams #Suns pic.twitter.com/PKE2pyC2BH – 11:23 PM

@DuaneRankin
“My first one?”
Deandre Ayton when told this was his first 30 and 15 game. Ayton finished with 31 and 16 in #Suns win at #Pistons.
“I’m going to get it again. Get 30 and 20, but all that stuff, 30 and extra, that’s just things that I’m required to do. Taking care of business.” pic.twitter.com/nw4guvzc1B – 11:20 PM

@omarisankofa
FINAL: Suns 116, Pistons 100. Detroit falls to 14-40 overall and couldn’t contain Ayton, who scored 31 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and made 13 of his 15 attempts.

FINAL: Suns 116, Pistons 100.
Not much good from this one other than Saddiq Bey’s performance — he had 25 points on 12 shots. Also, Isaiah Stewart, who finished with 17 points and 9, may have found his 3-point shooting stroke again by hitting his last three triples. – 9:22 PM

Pistons had just three turnovers in the first half, but gave the ball up 12 times in the second.
Seven second-half offensive rebounds for Phoenix, too. – 9:13 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
That Cam Johnson 3 will for sure do it. Suns up 18 with 3:57 left.
Just too many self-inflicted errors here down the stretch when it was only an 11-point game. – 9:12 PM

@omarisankofa
Ivey turns the ball over on consecutive possessions, and the second led to a transition 3 for Johnson. Pistons are down 18 with 3:57 to play. Biggest deficit of the night – 9:11 PM

@DuaneRankin
Cam Johnson 3. Timeout Pistons.
#Suns up 18 with 3:57 remaining. – 9:11 PM

@GeraldBourguet
Mikal Bridges making big plays to push the lead out. Once again stemming from that Chris Paul-Deandre Ayton PNR – 9:11 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Duren blocks a shot, Suns get the ball … 3.
Bridges misses a 3 … suns gets the rebound … 3. – 9:10 PM


@omarisankofa
Suns 100, Pistons 88 with 6:28 to play. Bey will try to complete an and-1 after the break. He’s scored nine of his 21 points in the fourth and is keeping Detroit’s faint hopes alive – 9:05 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
It might just be “Get Saddiq the ball and get the hell out of the way” time for these last 6:28.
Pistons down 12. Couldn’t defend Landale without fouling for like two straight minutes. – 9:05 PM

@omarisankofa
End of 3: Suns 88, Pistons 76. Ayton (27 points, 15 rebounds, 11-13 shooting) and Chris Paul (13 assists) have been methodical tonight. Pistons need to clean up their communication issues defensively to have a shot.
Bogdanovic: 18 points
Stewart: 17 points, 9 rebounds – 8:52 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
END OF 3Q: Suns 88, Pistons 76.

Some really nice ball movement from the Suns these last few possessions. That Dario dime was pretty – 8:46 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons need to make the run here in these non-CP3-Ayton minutes. Down 14 with 1:40 left in the 3Q. – 8:46 PM


@DuaneRankin
Ayton again. Has 27 and 15.
#Suns up 87-73 as Torrey Craig is 4-of-4 from 3. – 8:45 PM


@KellanOlson
Chris Paul just became the first basketball player I’ve seen get booed for refusing to pick the ball up off the ground (he was killing clock) – 8:45 PM

@omarisankofa
Stewart has scored Detroit’s last eight points, including two 3-pointers. He started tonight 0-5 from 3 and hadn’t hit one since Jan. 6. He’s cooking now. 17 points and 9 rebounds so far – 8:44 PM

@omarisankofa
Suns answer Detroit’s 8-0 run with a 9-0 run to go back up 17. They’re shooting 64.6%. – 8:43 PM


@KellanOlson
Game got weirder for 2 minutes with the Ivey 30 footer and Stewart barely made dunk. Now the Pistons are making more shots. Eight-point game. More fight required to not have this be a game late. – 8:38 PM


@omarisankofa
That was a great pass from Duren to find Bogey in the corner. Burks got a 3 to fall on the next possession. Pistons have scored eight straight and are down 73-65. Nice response after coming out of halftime disorganized – 8:37 PM


@MikeACurtis2
Afrer a bad drought of 18 consecutive missed 3s since Jan. 6, Isaiah Stewart finally finds the bottom of the net. He needed that one. – 8:37 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Suns are getting sloppy and the Pistons are capitalizing with 3 balls.
Back to an eight-point game after a nifty behind-the-back pass from Bogey gets Burks a wide-open 3. – 8:37 PM

@erikslater_
Cam Thomas is the first Net in 43 years to score 40 points off the bench:
45 points – Cliff T. Robinson – 3/9/80 vs. DET
44 points – Bubbles Hawkins – 2/9/77 vs. NOJ
41 points – Cam Thomas – tonight vs. WAS – 8:32 PM



@GeraldBourguet
Suns off to an 8-0 start in the 3Q, pushing their lead out to 17 in the first 2 minutes – 8:31 PM

@KellanOlson
Suns starting to pull away and are up 17. Really good DA game with the two-man game working all night. Twins doing their part too. – 8:31 PM

@omarisankofa
Suns open the second half with a 7-0 run to take a 66-49 lead. Pistons are all sorts of discombobulated on defense – 8:31 PM

@MikeACurtis2
Looks like there was some miscommunication there between Duren and Stewart that led to an open dunk by Ayton. – 8:28 PM

@omarisankofa
You’ll never believe this, but the Suns got Ayton a wide open dunk to open the second half – 8:27 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons haven’t played great but seven missed free throws in the first half is the reason this is almost a double-digit game.
Team probably feels a lot better going into the break if they were even just 8-12 from the line instead of 5-12. – 8:25 PM

Marvin Bagley III doesn’t have a cast on his right hand anymore, which should be a good sign. – 8:08 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons are now soft doubling, switching the low man onto Ayton on the rolls. When they remember to do it correctly, the Suns’ offense doesn’t look as automatic.
Worked well there. – 8:06 PM

@omarisankofa
Another easy Ayton bucket, courtesy of CP3. Pistons’ communication issues on defense have been glaring tonight. Phoenix is 18-28 from the floor – 8:06 PM


@DuaneRankin
Ayton took one in the eye from Ivey on rebound.
Goes to line. Has 15 and 7 .#Suns up seven with 3:48 left in half . – 8:01 PM

@GeraldBourguet
Ouch. Looked like Deandre Ayton got poked in the eye there – 8:01 PM

@DuaneRankin
Bridges jumper. He has developed a shot in which gives a quick dribble, not even a crossover all the time and leans back to shoot it.
It has some stutter to it. #Suns up 10. – 7:26 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Suns keep switching a small onto Ayton, Paul passes it and Ayton either has a bucket or someone is backdoor cutting for a layup.
Pistons have to communicate better. – 7:24 PM

Nice 11-3 start for the Suns. DA’s up to 6 early points, and he and the rest of the starting 5 has been locked in defensively – 7:19 PM

Pistons call an early timeout after the Suns take an 11-3 lead at the 9:03 mark. Pistons have missed three of their first four shots – 7:19 PM

Ugly start for the Pistons. Detroit can’t break down the Phoenix defense. – 7:18 PM

“He’s the best two-guard in the league. Makes no sense he’s not playing in the game. Facts.”

@MikeACurtis2
Dwane Casey on #Suns two-way guard Saben Lee’s return to Detroit:
“Saben, he’s an energy bunny. He’s a guy that plays hard. He directs the team. He’s a team-first point guard. First of all, I’m happy for him. I’m happy that he’s found a place. It’s just great for his career.” – 5:42 PM

Suns coach Monty Williams called Devin Booker not being named to the All-Star team “a joke” – 5:38 PM

@ekoreen
A very low-key interesting thing: Does the prospect of Durant becoming available make certain teams more hesitant to move their picks? I would guess that the only teams this could REALLY impact would be Phoenix + Portland, but worth thinking about. – 1:04 PM

@GeraldBourguet
Devin Booker, Landry Shamet and Cam Payne remain out for tonight’s game against the Pistons. As expected, Cam Johnson will play after sitting the first game of the back-to-back due to right knee injury management – 12:54 PM

If you’re looking for Kyrie Irving trade scenarios to the Suns, I wrote about what they might look like for @PHNX_Suns. And if you’re wondering why I think it’s a bad idea, well, that’s in there too: https://t.co/RJt0aj5dOj pic.twitter.com/JvvDd77XPg – 9:03 AM

Maybe I’m up too late, but who says no?
-BKN gets tons of length and a stretch big
-PHX gets off CP3 and finds value for Johnson (up for an extension) and Crowder (hasn’t played all season)
-TOR gets two 1sts and a swap for OG
-MIN gets three 2nds and a prospect they can flip pic.twitter.com/wNRuVpqlGP – 2:24 AM
