TONIGHT - 9, U.S. Airways Arena; Phoenix. TV - CSN. Radio - WEEI-AM (850).
THE NUMBERS
2: Consecutive Celtics [team stats] losses on the road.
9: Consecutive wins on the road before those two losses.
32: Career-high points by Rajon Rondo [stats] the last time the Celts played in Phoenix.
WHO’S HURT
For the Celtics, F Glen Davis (sprained right ankle), G Marquis Daniels (left thumb surgery) and F Paul Pierce [stats] (right knee infection) are out. The Suns are healthy.
WHO’S HOT
For the Celtics, C Kendrick Perkins [stats] has made 11-of-14 shots on this three-game trip.
WHO’S NOT
For the Celtics, F/C Rasheed Wallace has made only 6-of-21 shots in the last two games.
BOTTOM LINE
The Celtics need to keep an eye on Jason Richardson, who made six treys on the way to 34 points when the Suns won in Boston early last month. The C’s won’t like facing a running team to end this trip, but that means they have to be more deliberate on offense and not get caught in a quick-shooting game.
