The Phoenix Suns are on a three-game losing streak and have lost seven of their last 10 games entering Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Suns are coming off a Christmas Day loss to the Dallas Mavericks. On that note, let's look at the Phoenix Suns starting lineup and depth chart.
Phoenix was still without Bradley Beal on Monday due to a sprained right ankle. The Suns' "Big 3" of Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker has only played twice together since Beal was acquired from the Washington Wizards in the offseason.
Beal's health has been one of the sources of frustration for Durant, as reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Suns' lack of depth is also a concern for the team, with the front office having no choice but to sign as many minimum players as possible to fill out the roster.

Phoenix Suns starting lineup and depth chart for Dec. 27, 2023
Phoenix Suns coach Frank Vogel has used a bunch of starting lineups due to the injuries to Bradley Beal and Devin Booker throughout the season. The Suns also endured the injury bug to their role players like Josh Okogie, Grayson Allen, Eric Gordon and Nassir Little.
Regardless of what's happening recently for the Suns, they will have to soldier on because they made a lot of moves since new ownership took over. They don't have a lot of assets to make some season-changing deals before the deadline. They need to get fully healthy to maximize their potential.
