The Phoenix Suns take on the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena on Saturday evening.

The Suns (11-49) didn't find any magic cure-all for their considerable troubles over the All-Star break, as they started the stretch run of the season in an unpleasantly familiar manner. Phoenix dropped a 111-98 decision to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday evening, their 16th consecutive loss. Devin Booker led the way with 30 points, adding seven assists, one rebound and one steal. Kelly Oubre, Jr. furnished 23 points, four rebounds, one assist, three steals and two blocks. Deandre Ayton supplied 13 points, nine boards, three assists and one steal. Josh Jackson registered 12 points, six rebounds, two assists and three steals.

The Suns will continue to be without T.J. Warren (ankle) on Saturday.

The Hawks (19-40) have had their share of troubles this season as well, and they too saw a pre-All-Star-break skid extend into their first game following the layoff. Atlanta dropped a narrow 125-122 decision to the Detroit Pistons on Friday night, their fifth loss in the last six contests overall. Trae Young led the Hawks with a 30-point, 10-assist double-double that also included two rebounds. John Collins tallied 19 points, six rebounds and one block. Vince Carter delivered 16 points. Dewayne Dedmon generated a 14-point, 12-rebound double-double that also included two assists, three blocks and one steal. Kent Bazemore poured in 12 points and also posted seven boards and two steals. DeAndre' Bembry produced an efficient 10 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals.

The Hawks will likely list Kevin Huerter (ankle) as questionable at best for Saturday's game after he missed Friday's contest. Miles Plumlee (knee) is likely to share the same designation at minimum.

Saturday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Hawks own a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 118-112 victory on Feb. 2.
