Phoenix Suns Must Show Up Against Struggling Pistons

The Phoenix Suns will face off with the Detroit Pistons on Friday from US Airways Center. After a disappointing loss to the Miami Heat on Thursday, the Suns will be looking to avenge themselves and snap their three-game losing streak.

Here are a couple of things that the Suns will need to do in order grab a win against a struggling Pistons squad which is currently on a 13-game losing streak.

Eric Bledsoe must show up

Eric Bledsoe only put up four points against Heat after putting up his first triple double of his career on Monday against the Clippers in LA. The young guard did get eight assists, but the Phoenix Suns need more scoring out of Bledsoe, especially with the amount of money they gave him in the offseason. This should be the game where Bledsoe gets it back together against a bad Piston team.

Morris brothers need another big game

Markieff and Marcus Morris bailed out the Suns on Wednesday, putting up 42 points nine rebounds, and four assists. Phoenix will need them to play at that level again in case IsaiahThomas has to sit out again and if one of the other starters has a bad night.

Play with energy

I went to the Heat game and the Suns didn’t look like they had the energy that I’ve seen from them in the past. It might have been just me who saw it, but if they don’t play with intensity and energy, they could be the fourth team to lose to the Pistons.

I think the Suns are going to stomp on the Pistons, but they can suffer another loss if they don’t play hard for all 48 minutes.
