With 11 wins in the month of January, posting an 11-5 record (their most wins in a month thus far this season, one better than 10-win November), the Phoenix Suns go into February tied for the most wins to start
2026. In January, the team had three different three-game win streaks and dropped just five games out of the 16 they played. Phoenix is firmly in the mix for a top-six seed, switching positions in the standings with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles at varying times over the last month.
Here’s a look at the team’s schedule for the next month:
Staying Home Before the Break
- Sunday, February 1st vs Los Angeles Clippers
- Tuesday, February 3rd @ Portland Trailblazers (On NBC/Peacock)
- Thursday, February 5th vs Golden State Warriors (On Amazon Prime)
- Saturday, February 7th vs Philadelphia 76ers
- Tuesday, February 10th vs Dallas Mavericks
- Wednesday, February 11th vs Oklahoma City Thunder
After finishing January with four straight games at home, the Suns will play five of their six games before the All-Star Break at home, with the only game on the road being against their Western Conference foe in Portland.
All six of the teams that the Suns will play, the Suns have already beaten, and the Warriors are the only one that the team did not beat in the most recent matchup. Due to a torn ACL and a 25-game suspension, the Warriors will not face Jimmy Butler and Paul George in their outings against Golden State and Philadelphia, respectively, and Anthony Davis and Jalen Williams’ statuses are in peril when they face Phoenix. The last time the Suns played the Thunder, Devin Booker had a game-winner in legendary fashion.
With the NBA Trade Deadline on the 5th, the Suns roster and their opponents’ squads could look differently than they are now for these matchups.
Staying at Home
- Thursday, February 19th @ San Antonio Spurs
- Saturday, February 21st vs Orlando Magic (NBA TV)
- Sunday, February 22nd vs Portland Trailblazers
- Tuesday, February 24th vs Boston Celtics
- Thursday, February 26th vs Los Angeles Lakers
Phoenix will continue its month of staying mostly at home after the All-Star break, and they’ll get their first looks at the Celtics and the Magic this year. Boston has been one of the biggest surprises this season, hovering in the second and third spots in the East despite Jayson Tatum sidelined, while Orlando has been one of the league’s biggest disappointments as Paolo Banchero is having a down year and Franz Wagner has dealt with injuries.
With how close the Lakers and Suns are in the standings, their matchup on the 24th could prove to be a big one; don’t be surprised if this one is flexed into a national broadcast. It’ll be the fourth matchup out of five this year for the two teams and the last in Phoenix. They’re playing five times this season after both lost in the first knockout round of the NBA Cup. The Suns are winning the season series 2-1. Could it be LeBron James’s last time playing in Phoenix?
80% of the Suns’ games this month are in February, the highest percentage out of any month of the season. The team has a light traveling month with the All-Star break sandwiched in the middle of it, before they go on another six-game road trip in March.
