OAKLAND -- The Suns will be without guard Marcus Banks tonight when they face Golden State.
Read Jerry Brown's blog, Rim Shots
Banks was in Las Vegas Monday morning to attend the funeral of his aunt, who passed away over the weekend, and was unable to get back to the Bay Area for the game. He was expected to see some playing time against the Warriors -- he played in each of the last two games and his speed would come in handy against the quick pace both teams want to play.
Raja Bell practiced well on Sunday and should be fine to play normal minutes tonight, and Eric Piatkowski (shoulder) is also availabe if needed. But expect the top eight players to see most of the playing time against the Warriors, who don't go much deeper themselves.
