When: Friday, 8:30 PM tipoff
Where: Phoenix Suns arena
Watch: ESPN, Fox Sports Arizona

For the second time in three nights, the Phoenix Suns will host the world champion Lakers in a preseason game. Get used to it folks, in terms of consecutive games against the same team. Suns will do it again next week, in Sacramento for a pair.
This is the preseason finale for both teams, with a five-day layoff before the games start officially counting. Because of that, and the fact that it’s being aired on ESPN, I expect both the Suns and Lakers will play their starters closer to 30 minutes each.
