(Sports Network) - The New Jersey Nets will wrap up a four-game road trip out west tonight with a showdown against the Phoenix Suns at US Airways Center. New Jersey is 2-1 on the trek after back-to-back wins, including Saturday's 105-88 pounding of the Utah Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena. Devin Harris scored 34 points and dished out six assists to lead the Nets, who have won four of their last five games overall.

Vince Carter added 22 points and Yi Jianlian finished with 11, as the Nets improved to 5-3 away from the Meadowlands this season.

Phoenix will try to get back on track after having its three-game winning streak snapped with Friday's 107-92 loss to the Miami Heat at home. Former Heat center Shaquille O'Neal scored 12 points and pulled down nine rebounds in his first game against Miami since being traded.

The Suns played without two-time MVP Steve Nash, who missed the game with a bruised right thigh. Nash is questionable for Sunday. Leandro Barbosa and Raja Bell paced Phoenix with 20 and 16 points, respectively, in defeat.

Amare Stoudemire had 14 points against the Heat and is questionable for tonight with a strained calf muscle.

The series between the Nets and Suns has been a bit lopsided with Phoenix unbeaten over the last five encounters. The Suns posted a 114-86 win at New Jersey on November 4 this season and are 9-1 in the last 10 matchups.

New Jersey has lost 14 in a row and 15 of 16 games at Phoenix.
