Phoenix is coming off a 114-92 loss to the Houston Rockets that ended its three-game winning streak.

The Kings (5-13) have won their past two games after losing eight in a row. They will be without Domantas Sabonis (right knee partial meniscus tear) and Dennis Schroder (right hip soreness).

Sacramento blew a 20-point lead in a loss at Phoenix to open the 2025-26 season.

Suns coach Jordan Ott said at the time that Allen suffered his quad injury Nov. 13 against Indiana, that it wasn’t long-term, but Phoenix remains without one of its best players.

Ott addressed the injury before Monday’s loss, indicating that swelling has been the main issue.

“Seems to take more and more steps,” Ott said. “The last 24 hours, it's trending in the right direction, but we're going to be smart with this one.”

Allen is averaging a career-high 18.5 points, shooting 44.7% from 3.
