TORONTO (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Suns try to push their winning streak to four straight against the Toronto Raptors on Friday.

With a win, the Suns can improve to 2-2 on their five-game road trip after starting the trek on a sour note. Phoenix dropped its first two contests by an average of 30 points, but rebounded to earn a 114-104 triumph over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday.

The Suns held the Pacers to 35 percent (15-of-43) shooting in the first half as they took control of the contest early. Shawn Marion scored 29 points, grabbed eight rebounds and handed out six assists.

James Jones added 18 points and reigning MVP Steve Nash collected 15, 13 assists and eight boards for Phoenix, which held a 34-10 advantage in fast-break points.

With 11 games remaining on the schedule, the Suns are virtually locked into the second seed in the Western Conference playoff standings.

The Raptors suffered their second straight setback, a 98-94 loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Morris Peterson had a team-high 28 points and Mike James added 19 points and 12 assists for Toronto, which tallied just 37 points in the second half.

In the first meeting this season, Marion's 28 points and 18 rebounds helped Phoenix to a 90-82 victory on November 22.
