KEY GAME INFORMATION

PHOENIX: LAST SEASON: 21-61, missed playoffs.
COACH: Igor Kokoskov (first season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Devin Booker (24.9 ppg), G Shaquille Harrison (6.6 ppg), F Trevor Ariza (11.7 ppg, Houston), F Ryan Anderson (9.3 ppg), C Deandre Ayton (rookie, 20.1 ppg at Arizona).
KEY LOSSES: F Marquese Chriss, C Alex Len, F Jared Dudley
KEY ADDITIONS: Ariza, Anderson, Ayton, G Mikhal Bridges
PLAYERS TO WATCH: First and foremost is Ayton, the 7-foot-1 multi-skilled big man chosen No. 1 overall in the draft. Kokoskov sees him as a rim protector on defense and he possesses a soft outside touch to go with bruising, athletic inside moves. The question is how he handles the much tougher world of the NBA. Also, Booker. He underwent hand surgery and missed the preseason, athough he did a lot of left-handed workouts. He wants to be back by the season opener and is anxious to prove he was worth that five-year, $158 million contract he signed in the offseason.
OUTLOOK: It's been a long time since this franchise was relevant and there is more turmoil as this season begins. Nine days before the opener, Suns owner Robert Sarver fired general manager Ryan McDonough. There is no true proven point guard on the roster and who knows whether the team can find one. The hope rests with Booker, Ayton and Josh Jackson, who will come off the bench at least initially. Kokoskov is widely respected. But it's hard to see that eight-year absence from the postseason ending anytime soon.

BOSTON: LAST SEASON: 55-27, lost in Eastern Conference finals.
COACH: Brad Stevens (sixth season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Jaylen Brown (14.5 ppg), G Kyrie Irving (24.4 ppg), F Jayson Tatum (13.9 ppg), F Gordon Hayward (2.0 ppg; played one game last season), C Al Horford (12.9 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: G Shane Larkin, C Greg Monroe
KEY ADDITIONS: F Robert Williams, G Brad Wanamaker, G P.J. Dozier
PLAYERS TO WATCH: All eyes are on Hayward coming off his surgery and rehab from the gruesome left ankle injury he suffered in the season opener last season. After nearly a year away from playing 5-on-5 basketball, he says he's back to 100 percent. The same is true for point guard Kyrie Irving following a pair of surgeries on his left knee that caused him to miss the end of the regular season and playoffs. Irving's also pledged his allegiance to Boston, saying recently that he intended to re-sign with the Celtics in 2019.
OUTLOOK: With LeBron James now in the Western Conference, the Celtics enter this season as the presumptive favorites in the East. The injuries to Hayward and Irving gave Brown and Tatum a chance to shine and both young emerged as budding stars. After re-signing reserve guard Marcus Smart, Boston enters the season with a roster that's nearly fully intact from a year ago. The Celtics were one of the league's top defensive teams a last season and are expected to be there again under the defensive-minded Stevens. The challenge for the sixth-year
COACH will be getting this talented group to share the ball.

PREVIEW

Suns bring three-game win streak to Boston to face Celtics

BOSTON -- If you checked the NBA standings before Tuesday night's results, you saw three teams with winning streaks of longer than three games.

The Indiana Pacers had won seven straight, the Brooklyn Nets five and the Houston Rockets four.

After that, it was the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns, tied at three.

The Suns?

Yes, a team that had been 4-22 through 26 games, a team rumored to be leaving Phoenix for Seattle in an arena dispute -- a report shot down by the owner, for now, anyway -- had won three games in a row to get to 7-22.

Small steps.

"We're building," Devin Booker said after his 38 points led the Suns to a Monday win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. "We're getting better every game."

And moving from one Garden to the other, the Suns are in Boston on Wednesday night to face the Celtics, who saw their eight-game winning streak snapped Saturday night at Detroit.

The Suns swung a trade the other day. In a deal that was tied up as a three way when the Memphis Grizzlies balked about the wrong Brooks being in the trade, Phoenix moved big offseason pickup Trevor Ariza to Washington for Austin Rivers and Kelly Oubre in a two-team transaction.

Rivers was promptly bought out. Both sides agreeed that he was a veteran who could help a winning team more than one that's building, and he wound up in Memphis. Oubre, who scored 20 points against the Celtics just last week, was slated to make his Suns debut Wednesday.

Both Oubre and Booker have a past with the Celtics.

Oubre has played 13 career regular-season games against Boston and was also suspended for a game in the 2017 playoff series between the teams. Booker, on the other hand, scored 70 points at TD Garden in a performance slightly tainted by the Suns, losing the game, doing things to get him extra points.

In six career games against the Celtics, Booker, who had 38 against them Nov. 8, is averaging 32.0 points (easily his high against any team), 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per games.

The Celtics rallied from 22 points down, got a 3-pointer from Marcus Morris with 1.1 seconds left in regulation and beat the Suns in overtime on Nov. 8. But that was Boston's only win on a five-game road trip and the Celtics were at 10-10 before reeling off eight straight wins.

On Saturday night, they saw nemesis Andre Drummond grab 20 rebounds and scored 19 points in the Pistons' win.

So, at 18-11, the Celtics, who have had injury troubles, are still looking for consistency -- and no one has been looking harder than Gordon Hayward, who missed all but about five minutes of last season with a horrific leg injury.

"Getting healthy and being healthy is the first thing you have to worry about," Hayward said after Saturday's loss. "When you're not healthy, you can't do the things you want on the court. That's the hurdle I want to go over first, and then I can try to figure everything else out."

Jamal Crawford, known throughout his career, posted a career-high 14 assists in the Suns' win Monday night. Booker scored 38 in his second game back from missing six games with an injury.

"I think especially for me, I'm known as such a scorer, and I can score -- like, I really can score -- but sometimes the defense thinks that, too, and they fall asleep and I see guys," Crawford said.

The Celtics have defeated the Suns each of the last three seasons at TD Garden.
