Analysis:
This will be Leuer's fifth game in a row that he'll miss due to lower-back spasms. Since he's been sidelined, Alex Len has taken over as the Suns' starting power forward, with Markieff Morris and Mirza Teletovic set to fill in minutes behind him. The playing time for all three players could be impacted when Leuer ultimately returns, though it's unlikely the 26-year-old will hold down a significant spot in the Suns' rotation.
