The Phoenix Suns head into a tough road matchup with uncertainty clouding their lineup. Minnesota arrives at Target Center on a five-game winning streak, playing some of its best basketball of the season. With several key Suns players questionable, the pressure grows even more, especially as Dillon Brooks now faces a new injury concern. Phoenix could be short-handed against one of the league’s hottest teams.

Are Dillon Brooks, Devin Booker playing tonight? Latest injury report Suns

Phoenix Suns star Dillon Brooks is questionable for Monday’s game with new left Achilles soreness that surfaced after the team’s last outing. In that game against the Rockets, he logged 31 minutes and scored 23 points, and had been reliably available since returning from a core muscle strain earlier in the season. However, the Suns have more to worry about than just Brooks.

Star guard Devin Booker has been ruled out. He is dealing with a right groin strain suffered on December 1. Booker leads the Suns in scoring with 25.0 points per game.

Head coach Jordan Ott said Booker could be available for the team’s next game on December 10. Booker is scheduled for a red evaluation this week. His absence removes the team’s primary shot creator from the lineup. Apart from the two, the Suns have a couple of more players on the injury list.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a revised injury report for Monday’s game, updating their previously clean bill of health. According to a report by Jon Krawczynski on X, Anthony Edwards and Shannon have been added to the injury report due to illness. Neither player attended the team’s morning shootaround.

All other key starters are expected to be available. Anthony Edwards leads the team with 28.1 points per game. He is shooting 48.8 percent from the field this season.

On the other end, Julius Randle is averaging 23 points and 7.3 rebounds as the team’s second option. Jaden McDaniels is third on the team with 16.0 points per game.

The only other players listed are two-way contract players on G League assignment. Enrique Freeman and Rocco Zikarsky are both out due to their G League duties.

Suns vs Timberwolves predicted starting lineups

Based on the latest injury reports, here are the projected starting lineups for Monday’s game.

Ryan Dunn is expected to start if Dillon Brooks is unable to play. Grayson Allen will carry a larger offensive load, averaging 17.3 points per game this season.

For Minnesota, Rudy Gobert will anchor the defense. He is averaging 10.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per contest. Donte DiVincenzo adds 13.7 points and reliable movement shooting. Given the Wolves’ recent record, the prediction isthat  Minnesota will win the matchup.
