Phoenix Suns get to test themselves against a potential finals contender in Boston Celtics

The 38-27 Phoenix Suns have had an up-and-down season because of Devin Booker and Bradley Beal's injuries. The Suns are still feared as a legitimate threat to the Denver Nuggets in the conference and the Boston Celtics if they meet them in the finals with Kevin Durant, Booker and Beal healthy.

They may not be at full strength as role players like Eric Gordon and Josh Okogie are on the injury report for Thursday's showdown. However, the big three will be available and playing without any restrictions.

The Suns will have a solid opportunity to see where they stand among the league's elites, albeit in a one-off game. The Celtics have been the team to beat this year. Phoenix will have a stern challenge on the road, where Boston has lost only thrice.
