The Phoenix Suns continue their NBA campaign this Sunday when they welcome the Detroit Pistons to the Footprint Center. The Suns (14-12) are currently ninth in the Western Conference, while the Pistons (11-17) are 11th in the East. Check out our match prediction below. 

The Phoenix Suns will look to get back to winning ways after a disappointing 120-111 loss to the Pacers on Friday at this venue. 

A 37-point performance by Kevin Durant was not enough to get the Suns a positive result, as a lack of defensive control saw 16 turnovers translate to 29 points for Indiana. 

The Suns are averaging 113.9 points per game this season (ninth in the league) while allowing 114.4 PPG (20th in the NBA). 

Meanwhile, the Pistons continued their underwhelming performance with a third loss from the last five matches as the Utah Jazz sailed by them 125-119 last time out.

Cade Cunningham posted 33 points while Malik Beasley added 26, yet those positive performances would be in vain as no other player could score over 15 points, leaving the Pistons short at the end of the night. 

The Pistons have managed just 110.9 PPG (20th in the league) while allowing 114.3 points per game on defence (18th overall).
