Phoenix Suns prepare for key 2026-27 revenge matchups

Summary

The Phoenix Suns will face several revenge matchups during the 2026-27 NBA season, beginning with the Houston Rockets on November 7. After going winless against Houston last season, including a traded Kevin Durant’s pivotal game-winning 3-pointer in January, this series is expected to bring heightened intensity. The Suns also face the San Antonio Spurs, with whom they split last season, and Oklahoma City Thunder, after being swept in the playoffs. Further matchups against the Portland Trail Blazers offer opportunities for redemption after last season's play-in loss. The anticipation builds as the Suns look to improve their standing against these teams and showcase their growth since last season.
