Why shift in Suns’ playoff expectations can be dangerous

Phoenix opened the month by moving to 35-26 on the season with a convincing win over the Sacramento Kings.

As they get healthier, each of the Suns’ remaining games will have major bearing on their chances of moving into the West’s top six — and out of the Play-In Tournament.

As it stands, over half of Phoenix’s 13 March opponents have records below .500, though there is more than what meets the eye with respect to their records. The Suns’ ability to take care of business will be the determining factor in their prospects to make a postseason run.
