Suns giving Eric Bledsoe a night off on Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe (rest) will not play Saturday against the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

Suns coach Earl Watson mentioned that Bledose might have been getting tired, which could be one of the reasons he has cooled off considerably since his red-hot month of January. Without him on Saturday, the Suns will likely start Brandon Knight, while Leandro Barbosa and Tyler Ulis are candidates to see a few more minutes. Devin Booker will also gain a fair amount of shots on Saturday.

Our models project Knight for 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 34.5 minutes against the Rockets.
