KEY GAME INFORMATION

PHOENIX: BACKCOURT: At the age of 19, SG Devin Booker is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA. He averaged 19 points per game after the All-Star break last year. PG Eric Bledsoe has fallen out of public discussion somewhat recently, but he's one of the league's best scoring point guards and defenders, too. PG Brandon Knight has had a rough go in Phoenix, but coming off the bench might be exactly what he needs. He also may hate it and ask for a trade. . . . FRONTCOURT: Rookie PFs Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender join the fold as top-eight draft picks. Both are longer-term projects, but have immense talent and skills that could potentially be useful for the team right away. C Tyson Chandler is still starting down low, but the Suns would love the younger C Alex Len to give the team a reason to put him in the starting lineup instead. SFs P.J. Tucker and T.J. Warren will likely compete to start throughout the year. . . . BOTTOM LINE: Everyone's excited about Devin Booker, and with plenty of good reason. Bledsoe, too, seems like a sure thing. If things break right for at least two of the Chriss-Bender-Knight-Warren group, the Suns could surprise the way they did three years ago.

BOSTON: BACKCOURT: It's hard to believe PG Isaiah Thomas was once a bench player for this team, as he proved himself to be the lifeblood of the Celtics offense in making the All-Star team last year. In SG Avery Bradley and PG Marcus Smart, Boston has two of the best defending guards in the league. If Smart can learn to shoot as well as Bradley, his ceiling goes up considerably. Second-year PG Terry Rozier took strides over the summer and will see minutes this season. . . . FRONTCOURT: While Danny Ainge couldn't quite lure KD to Boston, C Al Horford is by no means a consolation prize. He fits perfectly in the offense and instantly becomes the team's best player. SF Jae Crowder is the perfect mentor for rookie SF Jaylen Brown, as both are gritty defenders with the ability to put the ball in the basket. People seem to have forgotten about PF Kelly Olynyk, who's become a better offensive player every season. . . . BOTTOM LINE: The Celtics added a four-time All-Star and an NBA-ready rookie to a team that won 48 games last season. Throughout his career, Brad Stevens has led his teams to overachieve. It will be interesting to see what that means for a Boston team that's now loaded with talent.

PREVIEW

Celtics wary of slumping Suns

BOSTON -- Despite the records and places in the standings, don't expect to see the Boston Celtics overlook the Phoenix Suns when the teams meet at TD Garden on Friday night.

It was just 2 1/2 weeks ago that the Suns scored five points in the last four seconds and stunned the Celtics in Phoenix.

Isaiah Thomas put up 35 points that night, but he missed a free throw with 11.9 seconds left and then turned the ball over -- rookie Tyler Ulis picking it up and draining a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Suns a 109-106 victory.

The Celtics lost that game without the injured Al Horford and Avery Bradley, but both have returned and are coming on strong.

Boston (46-26) trails the Cleveland Cavaliers (46-26) by just one game for the Eastern Conference lead. The Celtics lead the Washington Wizards (43-28) by 2 1/2 games for the second spot.

The Celtics defeated the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night for a 12th win in their past 13 home games. The Friday contest is the second game of a six-game homestand that features some playoff-type competition.

"It's going to be good for us," said Bradley, who played 39 minutes Wednesday, another sign he is over the Achilles problem that forced him to miss most of January and February. "We're playing the right way right now, and even the next game, Phoenix -- every team is playing hard right now, and it's our job to continue to keep playing the right way and trying to prepare for the playoffs.

"We're almost there. We're close."

Thomas scored 25 points Wednesday as he continues to close in on or set Celtics scoring marks. He has 213 3-pointers for the season and needs 10 to break Antoine Walker's team record.

The rebuilding Suns (22-50) are 1-8 since that win over the Celtics; they lost their sixth in a row Thursday at Brooklyn. Phoenix blew an early 15-point deficit and wound up taking a 126-98 beating.

Earlier in the day, general manager Ryan McDonough took to the airwaves in Phoenix concerning the fate of coach Earl Watson, rumored to be a candidate if the UCLA job becomes available. Watson is in the first year of a three-year contract.

"It really hasn't come up yet; it hasn't come across our radar," McDonough told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "Obviously, I know what's out there. Look, we love Coach Watson and the job he's done with our young group. He's really connected with our young players, they play hard every night.

"He and his staff were here pretty much all summer working with our players, building relationships with them, developing them. ... We fully expect him to be the coach here for a long time. That would be our preference; that would be my preference."

On Thursday night, Devin Booker scored 28 points and Marquese Chriss 23, but the Suns gave up 74 points in the second half as their road record fell to 9-27.

Chriss, asked after the game what Watson said to the team following the loss, said, "Just stay true to ourselves. I think that's the biggest thing. Just keep trying to play through adversity.

"We're in a tough position ... just keep playing, that's the biggest thing, I think."
