What are the expected lineups for Suns vs Nuggets

With Chris Paul still out, there is going to be a different lineup for Suns vs Nuggets. Monty Williams has multiple options as he tries to survive without his starting point guard.

In Game 4, the Phoenix Suns opted to start Cameron Payne as point guard. He played 25 minutes and finished with a stat line of five points, two rebounds, and four assists.

Moving forward, the Suns might opt for more shooting in their starting lineup. One possible change could be letting Landry Shamet replace Paul. The sharpshooting guard came up big in Game 4 as he connected on five threes en route to finishing with 19 points.
