Cameron Johnson and Frank Kaminsky are expected to play some major minutes off the bench in front-court roles, while Cameron Payne will lead the second unit's offense as the back-up point guard. Landry Shamet and Abdel Nader averaged 18 and 13 minutes respectively in the Phoenix Suns' last game, and they will come off the bench as well.
