Suns Could Make Late Scratch vs Mavericks

He was initially available heading into tonight despite dealing with a orbital fracture. He's played in the last five games for Phoenix. 

The Suns (14-14) have lost their last eight-of-eleven heading into tonight. The Mavericks' recent win over San Antonio stopped a three-game skid. 

Phoenix will need all the help they can get after Bradley Beal, Damion Lee and Jusuf Nurkic were also ruled out. Eric Gordon, Josh Okogie and Yuta Watanabe were all listed as probable but will be good to go per Suns head coach Frank Vogel.

Little has started in just two of the 21 games he's played thus far, his last start coming on Dec. 17 against the Washington Wizards. 

He is averaging 5.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per night. He scored six points in 16 minutes in Phoenix's loss vs Sacramento. 

Little arrived via trade from the Portland Trail Blazers (alongside Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen and Keon Johnson) in the massive trade that sent Deandre Ayton away from the Valley in late September. 

Suns-Mavericks will tip just after 8:30 PM Arizona time.
