Why Phoenix Suns’ next six games could be pivotal for team

The Suns entered the NBA All-Star break with a record of 26-28, 11th in the Western Conference.

The top six teams in each conference make the NBA playoffs, while teams 7-10 qualify for the NBA play-in tournament, with two of those teams earning the final two NBA postseason berths in each conference.

Phoenix is currently 1.5 games behind the 28-27 Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors in seeding to make the play-in tournament.

The Spurs, at 23-29, are two games behind Phoenix, so Phoenix would help its cause with a win over San Antonio.

The Grizzlies are 36-18 on the season, so Phoenix likely doesn’t have a chance to catch Memphis in the standings, but it can help its record with a win in that game.

The Pelicans are 13-42, so the games against New Orleans give the Suns a chance to pick up a couple important wins to improve their potential seed in the conference.

The Bulls (22-33) are currently 10th in the East, so they are trying to help their own cause, while the Raptors (17-38) are the East’s 13th-place team right now, 5.5 games out of a play-in tournament berth, giving Phoenix another way to boost its own cause with a win.

The March schedule for Phoenix is a difficult one, so it could be important to get off to a good post-All-Star break start if the Suns want to have any chance of thinking about the NBA postseason.
