With a team as great as theirs, now, Monty Williams’ boys are easily one of the biggest powerhouses expected to come out of the West. Placed 5th in the standings, they have grabbed 3 straight wins on their current road trip.

Is Devin Booker playing tonight vs the Hawks?
D-Book missed 21 games from late December all the way to 7th February due to a groin injury he sustained during the Christmas Day matchup against the Denver Nuggets.
In his return to the lineup, the 6-foot-5 guard played 26 minutes. Seeming a bit rusty, the 26-year-old had a 19-point, 4-rebound, and 6-assist performance on a 40/25/71.4 shooting split.
