Will the Suns be returning to full strength on Tuesday night NBA Cup affair vs. the Lakers, with Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal set to return?

The Suns (10-7) went 1-6 without Durant, who missed seven games with a left calf strain suffered Nov. 8 at Dallas. They had lost their previous five minus Durant and Beal, who strained his left calf at Utah and didn’t play the final 7:19 of that NBA Cup opener win.

With Durant in the lineup to open the season, the Suns won eight of their first nine games. Since Durant has been out with a strained left calf, Phoenix has dropped six of seven games and holds a 9-7 record ahead of an NBA Cup matchup with the Lakers on Tuesday.
