The Suns are the only team that will not have a home game this season against Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York or Orlando.

"I was disappointed for our fans," Suns Managing Partner Robert Sarver said. "When the preliminary schedule came out, I asked the league to reconsider and they didn't. You've got to factor in all the arenas and timelines, and they weren't able to move dates around." 

Phoenix will get two home games against the Lakers, Mavericks, Clippers and Spurs.

"For the most part, the schedule is computer-generated by a consulting firm that does schedules for the NHL and NBA," Sarver said. "Unfortunately for us, given the short schedule, we're not going to see some of the elite teams in the East."
