The matchup between the Phoenix Suns and the Boston Celtics promises to be an exciting showdown, with Kevin Durant praising the Celtics for having the best starting five in the league. 

With star players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porziņģis, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White, the Celtics boast an impressive lineup that poses a formidable challenge for any opponent.

“Best starting five in the league by far,” Durant told reporters when discussing the Celtics.

White’s emergence this season has added another dimension to the Celtics’ lineup, making them even more dangerous on both ends of the floor. His ability to score efficiently and capitalize on defensive attention drawn by his teammates has made Boston a tough team to defend against.

However, the Suns will be without Devin Booker due to a right ankle sprain, which will keep him sidelined for at least the next seven-to-10 days. Despite Booker’s absence, the Suns have shown resilience, securing victories against the Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors in consecutive games.

To continue their success, the Suns will rely on Durant and Bradley Beal to lead the way against the Celtics. Durant has been stellar, scoring 35 points in each of the Suns’ recent victories, while Beal has also made significant contributions.

With both teams motivated to secure a win, the Suns will need to bring their best effort to overcome the Celtics, who are determined to avoid a three-game losing streak. It promises to be a thrilling matchup between two of the NBA’s top teams, showcasing the talent and competitiveness of both squads.
