Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has been ruled out tonight against the Phoenix Suns. Irving is experiencing some tightness in his back, and the Nets will exercise caution to keep him out of the contest. This will be the second game in consecutive nights for the Nets and their third in four days.
The Nets come into this matchup with a three-game winning streak and have two games remaining on their West Coast road trip. Brooklyn is already without Kevin Durant due to a hamstring strain.
They opened as a 4.5-point underdog, but after news broke that Irving would sit out, that number is now +7 on the board.
