After his latest injury and absence, Bradley Beal has been back with the Phoenix Suns for the last three games.
It’s no surprise that the team has won those three games.
But even though the Suns have been doing well lately, Beal knows that the road ahead is going to be tough.
Speaking to Duane Rankin and the press on Monday night, Beal said, “Our next game, we’re really going to be challenged to guard one-on-one because that’s what they love to do.”
Beal was speaking about the team’s next opponent: the Los Angeles Clippers.
“Our next game, we’re really going to be challenged to guard 1-on-1 because that’s what they love to do.”

The Suns have just won four games in a row, taking down the Houston Rockets, Charlotte Hornets, Orlando Magic, and Portland Trail Blazers.
But now they are facing off against the Clippers, a team that has won 12 of their last 14 games.
With Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and James Harden leading the way, the Clippers are looking like a true force in the West.
Will the Suns be able to keep up?
Fans will be closely watching Wednesday night’s game because it could give them a good look at a possible playoff matchup.
When the season started, expectations were high for both the Suns and the Clippers.
However, each of these teams suffered some tough losses and had to work out a lot of kinks within their systems.
They are both looking a lot better now and fully healthy, which is especially important for these injury-prone squads.
The Clippers are currently the fourth team in the West while the Suns are just a few spots behind in the eighth spot.
Both teams have momentum and they want to keep winning.
That means that Los Angeles and Phoenix will be battling hard in hopes of keeping their winning streaks alive.
