Kevin Durant, the Suns and Detroit Pistons
The Suns traded Josh Okogie and three future second-round picks Wednesday for Richards and a second-round selection. Wearing No. 2, Richards joined the Suns (20-20) Friday in Detroit and was ready to make his debut Saturday against the Pistons (21-20) at Little Caesars Arena.
The keys to a Suns victory is simple - keep the rebounding battle close, exploit potential mismatches (Durant vs Harris), and take a healthy dose of three-point looks (Detroit is on the same level from behind the arc). Suns-Pistons is set to tip-off shortly after 2 P.M. Arizona time this afternoon.
