Suns Head North of Border to Battle Raptors
The Phoenix Suns take on the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena on Thursday evening.

The Suns (11-34) have endured plenty of futility on the road, as they've dropped 17 of their 21 away contests. Their latest travel-related debacle unfolded Tuesday night, when they were walloped, 131-97, by the Indiana Pacers. T.J. Warren led the way with 18 points, adding three rebounds, one assist and one steal. Kelly Oubre, Jr. managed 16 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. Deandre Ayton tallied 14 points, eight rebounds, one steal and one block. Richaun Holmes checked in with 13 points, five boards, two assists and one block. Devin Booker and Josh Jackson provided matching eight-point contributions.

The Suns will list Jamal Crawford (knee) as questionable for Thursday's contest.

The Raptors (33-13) have been playing as effectively as their record implies, but they did see a five-game win streak come to an end Wednesday night with a 117-108 defeat at the hands of the Boston Celtics. Kawhi Leonard paced the Raptors with 33 points, adding four rebounds, two assists and four steals. Serge Ibaka turned in 22 points and 10 rebounds. Danny Green managed 15 points, six rebounds and one assist. Greg Monroe and Norman Powell generated matching 11-point tallies, with Monroe also notably bringing in nine rebounds. Kyle Lowry mustered 10 points, seven assists, six rebounds, one steal and one block.

The Raptors will likely list C.J. Miles (hip) and OG Anunoby (personal) as questionable at best for Thursday after both missed Wednesday's contest.

Thursday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. Toronto holds a 1-0 lead, having notched a 107-98 victory on Nov. 2.
