Grayson Allen (knee) available; Eric Gordon (wrist), Bol Bol (foot) out for Suns-Bulls

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen has been upgraded from questionable to available for Monday's game against Chicago while Eric Gordon has been downgraded from questionable to out.

This is the second of a home back-to-back.

Bol Bol (right foot sprain) and Damion Lee (knee) remain out. Bol will miss a fifth straight game Monday, but sources informed The Republic the 7-footer is looking to return soon.

Lee hasn't played all season as he had surgery Oct. 11 on his right meniscus. The Suns hope he's able to return by the end of the regular season.

Allen (left knee soreness) and Gordon (right wrist soreness) both played in Sunday's 117-110 home win over Indiana. Allen went down hard on a driving layup over Pacers big Myles Turner in the first quarter and was limping running back down the court.

Turner was called for goaltending. Allen played 32 minutes and ended the game with 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting. He connected on three of his four 3-point attempts.

Starting all 37 games he's played this season, Allen is in that rare 50/40/90 club as he's averaging a career-best 13.8 points on 50.7% shooting. The 6-4 guard out of Duke is leading the NBA in 3-point shooting at 48.6% and is a 90% free throw shooter this season.

Gordon has been in a shooting slump in scoring a combined nine points in his last two games.

The veteran guard went 2-of-9 from the field (1-of-8 on 3s) in Friday's win at New Orleans and shot 1-of-6 (0-for-5 on 3s) Sunday against Indiana.

Gordon shoots with his right hand. Allen, Gordon and Bol are in their first seasons in Phoenix while Lee was with the team last season.
