The Phoenix Suns are two games away from making a return to Footprint Center, though tonight they'll be battling against the Atlanta Hawks in hopes of starting the new month on the right foot.
Reinforcements also appear to be on the way.
Suns head coach Frank Vogel opted to re-insert Grayson Allen into the starting lineup after missing one game with an ankle sprain - replacing sixth man Eric Gordon.
Suns reserve center Bol Bol also was given the green light to play after missing the last three weeks with a foot sprain.
The remainder of the starting five stayed the same following Allen's return:
The Hawks' offense poses a unique challenge for the Suns' defense, as Atlanta has several strong shooters and finishers at their disposal around star PG Trae Young.
On the flip side, the Suns offense has been so historically good recently that Atlanta's ability to compile points in droves may not matter.
Kevin Durant and Devin Booker became part of an exclusive group of Suns teammates to be selected All-Stars last night when Booker was officially voted into the game.
The threat of two All-Stars - and frankly two superstars sharing the court at one time - is a daunting task to deal with, and that's not even accounting for the other members of the starting lineup.
Bradley Beal averaged over 20 PPG during the month of January before a couple of off games and injury while Grayson Allen is still hovering around 50/40/90 efficiency marks on the season.
Jusuf Nurkic is coming off of possibly the best performance of his season as well - Atlanta will be challenged by this group.
