Phoenix has ruled out Highsmith due to right knee injury management as he will miss his 10th consecutive contest.
With Highsmith still sidelined, Royce O’Neale and Ryan Dunn could both continue to have increased roles.

The good news for the Suns is that Dillon Brooks is not listed on their injury report after the technical foul he was issued in Sunday’s victory was rescinded by the NBA on Monday.
Of course, it would have been Brooks’ 16thtechnical foul of the season which would have triggered an automatic one-game suspension for the veteran guard, though he will play on Tuesday after it was rescinded.
Fans can catch Tuesday night’s matchup between the Rockets and Suns from Phoenix at 11:00 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
