Dillon Brooks will likely begin firing away with Devin Booker out, which makes for an exciting game but maybe not the best game plan. That’s especially true considering Houston has a player in the lineup who wasn’t available for the first game—Kevin Durant. He’s played the last three outings, averaging 27 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists, all above his season averages. Houston has the fourth best defensive rating in the league and showed last time it can keep Phoenix in check, even with Brooks going off.
