Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker led the team in scoring with 24 points and recorded nine rebounds and seven assists as they took the Lakers' scalp with a 108-90 victory on Tuesday. Book bagged a steal as well and shot 8-for-16 from the field with a 6-for-11 record from downtown, although five turnovers left a stain on his stat line. This was his second game back from a hamstring injury and Booker had no trouble getting things done. Phoenix will go up against OKC next, which will give Booker a further opportunity to pick up speed ahead of a big matchup against Golden State on Christmas Day.

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker returned from his hamstring injury on Sunday and went for 16 points, six rebounds and five assist in 26 minutes in a blowout win over Charlotte. His shooting was rusty as Booker finished 6-for-15 from the field, but he hit 4-for-8 from outside and polished off his line with one steal and one turnover. Booker had a very strong finish to last month before getting sidelined for seven games. He might need some time to hit form again, but there are some big matchups on the horizon for him this week against the Lakers and Golden State, which should make the Suns star work hard on his game.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He could return his return here after missing each of the last seven games. Landry Shamet has stepped up in his absence, but would head to the bench, assuming Booker is cleared to play. Fantasy managers should check back closer to game time for more information. Shamet wouldn't be much of a streaming option off the bench.

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers, while center Deandre Ayton (illness) is considered questionable. Booker has missed four games with a left hamstring strain and these injuries can be tricky to overcome. Ayton missed Friday's game against Boston with a non-COVID illness and was also sent home from Saturday's practice for the same reason. The signs of him playing on Monday don't look too promising. JaVale McGee got the start in Ayton's absence on Friday and put together a nice double-double with 21 points and 15 rebounds. He looks set for another productive outing if Ayton isn't good to go.

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is expected to have a multiple-game absence due to the minor left hamstring injury that he sustained during Tuesday's win over the Warriors. Even with the Suns in the midst of a 17-game winning streak, the team will play it safe with its franchise star, which opens the door for Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, and Cameron Payne -- among others -- to take on elevated offensives role. Booker has averaged 23.2 points, 4.9 boards, and 4.5 assists, in addition to shooting 40.3 percent from behind the arc thus far in 2021-22. With just three games on the schedule between Wednesday and Dec. 10, fantasy managers can prepare themselves for Booker missing as many as three outings.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) will miss the remainder of the highly-anticipated showdown against the Warriors on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old sharpshooter tweaked his left hamstring in the second quarter and was subsequently ruled out after being examined in the locker room. This is a tough pill to swallow, mainly since Booker has played so well during the 2021-22 campaign, averaging 23.9 points, 5.1 boards, and 4.7 assists while shooting 41 percent from deep. However, it's still too early to tell if he will be available on Thursday against Detroit, although there's a strong chance he won't be. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation as an update on his status moving ahead will likely come on Wednesday. In the meantime, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton should take over most of the workload on the offensive end versus Golden State, thoughMikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, and ... [More]

He finished 2-for-3 with the three-ball and shot 5-for-6 at the line while picking up four rebounds, three assists, one steal and four turnovers in 39 minutes. This marks Booker's third game of the season with 30-plus points.

The Phoenix star is still one of the best scorers in the league, but the NBA's rule adjustments have really hurt his offensive numbers.

He was 11-for-21 from the field and 2-for-4 from outside with one turnover and no assists in 35 minutes. Book has now scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games, and he has a chance to extend the streak in another matchup against the Mavericks on Friday.

Booker didn't have a single turnover and shot 3-for-7 from three-point range. The Suns are streaking with eight consecutive victories but Booker has actually been quiet lately, so this will have hopefully shaken him up again. He'll find himself in a tricky matchup on Monday against a Timberwolves team that has limited shooting guards to 41.4 percent shooting this season.

After a bit of a slow start in the scoring department, Booker has poured in 27 or more points in four of his last five contests while shooting 46.7 percent from the field during that stretch.

He went 28 minutes without a single turnover and had four rebounds with four assists and two steals.

Booker has yet to play in the preseason as he's been working his way back after being placed in COVID-19 protocols.

Booker has resumed warming up before games, so his long-term status should be in little doubt. Landry Shamet started Phoenix's preseason opener and finished with the third-highest number of shot attempts (11), an indication of the role he could play again vs. L.A. Booker is a perennial top-30 overall option in all season-long formats on the heels of averaging 25.6 points per game last season while shooting 48.4 percent from the field overall.

PHOENIX (AP) — In his 16th season, Chris Paul took a risk, deciding that a young, unproven Phoenix Suns team was worth joining in his pursuit of his first NBA championship. To the surprise of just about everyone outside the locker room, it nearly worked. Now the biggest immediate question for the Suns is this: will Paul be back to try again? “I ain’t retiring, if that’s what you’re asking,” Paul said. “That’s out. So, back to work.” The hurt was fresh for the Suns on Tuesday night after the Milwaukee Bucks won their first championship in 50 years, beating Phoenix 105-98 to win the NBA Finals in six games. The Suns won the first two games of the series, only to lose the next four. The franchise has never won a title, losing in the Finals in 1976, 1993 and 2021. But in retrospect, it was still a remarkable season for the Suns, who were one of the league's worst teams in recent years. The Suns not only made the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, they made it all the way to the NBA Finals.... [More]
