Out to avenge loss to Heat, Suns to rely on ‘next guy’

After a six-game road trip that careened from good to nearly disastrous Friday, the Phoenix Suns return home to host the Miami Heat to begin a five-game homestand Sunday.

The Heat beat Phoenix 127-121 in the first game of the Suns' six-game trip on Jan. 13, a tour that was going well -- three wins, two close losses -- until guards Devin Booker and Jalen Green suffered injuries in a 110-103 defeat against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

Booker, the Suns' leading scorer, will not play Sunday because of an ankle injury.
