Phoenix Suns vs Chicago Bulls: Key matchups

Bradley Beal vs Ayo Dosunmu

While Booker and White are expected to battle it out at the start of the game, Beal and Dosunmu will provide the firepower from their respective benches. In his last five games, Beal has averaged 20.6 points on an efficient 58.1% shooting clip. On the other hand, Dosunmu has put up 11.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists in his last five outings.

Kevin Durant vs Matas Buzelis

Matas Buzelis, a 6-foot-10 rookie with an equally impressive wingspan, has a promising future as a scorer. Seventeen years before Buzelis entered the league, another rookie of similar height and even longer wingspan began a legendary scoring career — Kevin Durant. On Saturday night, Durant will challenge the 11th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, testing Buzelis' mettle on the court.
