Preview: Warriors at Suns

Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns | 7 p.m. | No TV/radio
The Warriors head down to Phoenix tonight for the second half of a back-to-back. What to watch for:
- Bench production. After playing four of the starters more than 30 minutes last night (with 25 for Biedrins), you’d have to imagine that the bench will get a lot more time tonight on the back end of a back-to-back. Can Brandon Wright crack double digits in either scoring or rebounding? Can Rodney Carney continue to work himself into the offense? Can Charlie Bell show any sort of offensive game? And can Jeremy Lin build on a solid game last night?
- The continuing saga of roster spot #15. Neither Miles nor Adrien got much playing time last night, though both had solid stats in the limited minutes they played. Assuming they get more time tonight, can either one make a statement? Right now, the external factors are pointing to Adrien (Amundson’s injury and Lin’s solid play last night), so Miles will have to start turning things on soon if he hopes to snag that final spot.
- Curry’s TO’s. He had 8 turnovers on Saturday, and 6 last night — and the beat writers are starting to notice. Can he put a clean game together tonight?
