Phoenix Suns vs. Boston Celtics preview

The red-hot Boston Celtics roll into Phoenix's Footprint Center riding high after their dominant 113-95 victory over the Kings, where Jayson Tatum put up an efficient 25 points in just 26 minutes.

While the Celtics have been crushing it on defense, ranking 3rd in the league by holding opponents to just 107.8 points per game, they'll face a tough test in the Suns' fifth-ranked offense led by Kevin Durant, who just dropped 38 points against Milwaukee.

The contrast in styles should make for a fascinating matchup - Boston's lockdown defense against Phoenix's smooth offensive flow that's hitting 48.1% from the field this season.

Durant's recent hot streak will be put to the test against the Celtics' perimeter defenders, who've held opponents to a measly 35% from three-point range.

The Suns' recent nail-biting win over the Bucks showed they can hang with elite teams, but their defensive struggles (ranking 20th in points allowed) could be their undoing against Boston's balanced attack.

Keep an eye on the battle of the boards - while neither team dominates the glass, the Celtics' slight edge in rebounding could prove crucial in what's shaping up to be a close contest.

With the Suns fighting to improve their 35-37 record and the Celtics looking to maintain their Eastern Conference dominance at 53-19, there's plenty at stake in this cross-conference showdown.
