Mon Mar 1118:55Devin Booker Cleared For Monday's Game
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As expected, Booker will play after being listed as probable coming into the game. Royce O'Neale will shift to the second unit, but will still be worth holding in deep leagues. The Suns are still without some players, which should give O'Neale more playing time off the bench. Fantasy managers should expect Booker to resume his normal role in the starting five for Monday's game.

Sun Mar 1019:07Devin Booker On Track To Return Monday
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (ankle) appears ready to rejoin the action on Monday against Cleveland. The team has listed him as probable for the game. Booker has missed four contests with a right ankle sprain. Bradley Beal has had a strong stretch during his absence with extra usage, while Royce O'Neale has been logging minutes in the starting unit in his place. The Cavaliers are dealing with a number of injuries right now, meaning they could be easy prey for Booker on Monday night. The Suns star has posted 30-plus points twice in his past five appearances, averaging 28.0 points overall over the span.

Fri Mar 815:55Devin Booker Considered Doubtful For Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was originally expected to miss 7-10 days with an ankle sprain, so it's not surprising that he's not supposed to play against the Boston Celtics on Saturday. Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reported that head coach Frank Vogel told the media that Booker is doubtful for this contest, so there's an outside chance he plays. With that being said, fantasy managers should still look for a backup plan which could be either Grayson Allen or Eric Gordon. Both should get plenty of opportunities without Booker's offense on the floor, but Allen has been looking like the most consistent option.

Mon Mar 416:01Royce O'Neale Trending Up, Starts For Devin Booker
Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale played 33 minutes in Sunday's 118-110 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, gathering nine points on 3-for-10 shooting, four assists, three rebounds, three three-pointers, and two blocks. Starting in place of the injured Devin Booker (ankle), O'Neale delivered the low-end goods fantasy managers have grown accustomed to over the veteran swingman's career. With Phoenix expecting Booker to miss at least the next week of play, O'Neale is someone nine-category managers should be prioritizing on waiver wires ahead of Tuesday's showdown against the Denver Nuggets. Across nine starts during 2023-24, the 30-year-old three-and-D wing is averaging 10.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.1 triples, and 2.4 combined steals plus blocks but faces a difficult task against a Nuggets squad that's surrendering the fewest fantasy points to opposing small forwards.

Mon Mar 413:18Devin Booker Expected To Miss 7-10 Days
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (ankle) is set to miss 7-10 days of action, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Booker hurt his right ankle in a game against Houston at the weekend. He was already absent for Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City and will miss at least three further contests. With Booker out, Bradley Beal received a much larger role offensively on Sunday and responded by leading the team with 31 points. Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen also get a usage boost without Booker, while Royce O'Neale returned to the starting unit against OKC.

Sun Mar 315:52Devin Booker Officially Out Against OKC
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus OKC. He injured his ankle and exited Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets and didn't return, so most had already planned to be without him. Although X-rays were negative, fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to miss at least a few games. Luckily for Phoenix, Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Jusuf Nurkic (neck) are both expected to suit up on Sunday night, which certainly helps lessen the blow caused by Booker's absence. But it should also mean additional scoring opportunities for Eric Gordon, who has averaged 15.6 points when Booker isn't in the lineup this season.

Sun Mar 310:06Devin Booker Avoids Serious Injury
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was forced to exit late in the fourth quarter during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Booker caught his foot on Royce O'Neale and rolled his ankle with roughly a minute left in the game. He limped back to the locker room to undergo further testing. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, which means Booker shouldn't miss an extended period. The Suns play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. It's unlikely that Booker is going to be available for that one. O'Neale will likely benefit the most if Booker is forced to miss time.

Fri Feb 921:49Devin Booker Off The Injury Report
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 27-year-old didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Utah Jazz. However, he's played heavy minutes all season, so he likely needed some rest. Booker has averaged a career-high 27.9 points throughout the 2023-24 campaign. With his return to the lineup on Saturday, Eric Gordon will presumably head back to the bench and take most of his fantasy upside with him.

Thu Feb 819:35Devin Booker Unavailable For Thursday's Game
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. This game will be Booker's first absence since the beginning of December. The expectation is that Eric Gordon is going to move into the starting five. Gordon will have increased value and is worth a look as a streaming option. Fantasy managers should double check the waiver wire to make sure Gordon isn't on there. He's well worth a look while the Suns are banged up.

Thu Jan 2511:57Devin Booker Scores 46 Points In Win Over Mavericks
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was fantastic on Wednesday, scoring 46 points with seven rebounds and three assists in the team's 132-109 win over the Dallas Mavericks. After scoring 52 points five days prior against the Pelicans, the 27-year-old had his second 40-point outburst in a week, shooting 17-for-23 against Dallas.

He is averaging 27.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in 36 minutes per game this season.

Fri Jan 1210:26Devin Booker Drops 31 Points In Win Over Lakers
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker delivered a big scoring night with some other facets of the game sprinkled in to help the team blow out the Los Angeles Lakers by 18 points. The Kentucky product finished with 31 points on 11-for-22 shooting while adding five assists, five rebounds, three steals, and three turnovers. Finally, the dynamic backcourt of Booker and Bradley Beal are healthy and they were firing on all cylinders on Thursday night. Despite Kevin Durant having an "off" night, this is a preview of what the Suns can do if everyone is on the court. All three stars are capable of putting up big fantasy stat lines as well.

Sat Dec 2 202320:43Devin Booker Will Play On Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The superstar guard was uncertain coming into this game due to a right ankle sprain that forced him to miss Friday's contest. Despite that, Booker will play on Saturday and is expected to resume his normal role. It's worth noting that the Suns are without Eric Gordon (knee) for this game. Possibly, Booker picks up additional playing time or Jordan Goodwin gets more run in the rotation.

Fri Dec 1 202315:33Devin Booker Will Sit Out Against Nuggets On Friday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will miss another game on Friday against the reigning NBA Champs. This time, he's dealing with a right ankle sprain and this will be his ninth missed game so far this season. Grayson Allen, fortunately, is back so he'll likely move into the starting five while Jordan Goodwin should see some added minutes again off of the bench. Since Booker was originally questionable, it's unclear if he'll need to miss any more time after this contest.

Thu Nov 30 202320:27Devin Booker Listed As Questionable For Friday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The star guard appears to have suffered an ankle injury during Wednesday's game. Afterwards, Booker said he was unsure if he'd be able to suit up on Friday. He's listed as questionable, but fantasy managers should prepare to be without Booker for this game. Grayson Allen will likely slide into the starting five, assuming Booker sits out. Allen would be a decent streaming option with extended playing time.

Thu Nov 30 202315:47Devin Booker Up In The Air For Friday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) said after Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors that he's not sure if he'll be available on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. "It's a long flight. See how it feels", Booker told reporters after appearing to injure his right ankle in the third quarter of the eventual 112-105 loss. The issue may have contributed to Booker's apparent struggles on Wednesday, ending just 2-for-12 from the field for a season-low eight points. Booker has already lost eight games this year to various right lower-leg ailments, so expect Phoenix to exercise caution here. The 27-year-old three-time All-Star is earning second-round fantasy figures, gaining 27.3 points, 8.5 assists, and 2.0 triples while converting a sparkling 92.2% of his 7.7 free-throw attempts per game. Expect the Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen (illness) show to resume in the Suns backcourt if Booker is out on Friday, while Kevin Durant would absorb massive usage.

Thu Nov 16 202320:17Devin Booker Tagged As Probable For Friday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (calf) is considered probable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. The superstar guard has been out for a majority of the beginning of the season due to a right calf strain. However, he was able to suit up on Wednesday and play 25 minutes in that game. The expectation is that Booker will play on Friday, but will probably be limited once again. Fellow guard Bradley Beal (back) is listed as doubtful, so Booker will likely have an increased role on offense. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday for another update on Booker's status.

Thu Nov 16 202309:56Devin Booker Hits 31 Points In Comeback Game
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker returned to the lineup with a 31-point effort in Wednesday's big 133-115 win over the Timberwolves. He logged just 26 minutes of action, but it was more than enough to produce a good fantasy line, as Booker added four rebounds and five assists to his tally with 12-for-22 shooting. The 27-year-old star, who shot 2-for-7 from deep Wednesday night, played for only the third time this season. It's unfortunate that health issues keep bothering Booker, but he's been fantastic when on the court, averaging over 31 points with 6.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists this season.

Tue Nov 14 202315:51Devin Booker Likely Back Wednesday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (calf) is expected to play in Wednesday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. A right calf strain has kept Booker out of the lineup for five consecutive games, but he's likely to return after being limited to two games this year. We'll have to stay tuned for any kind of possible minutes restrictions, but the 27-year-old three-time All-Star needs to be in all season-long fantasy lineups upon his return. Booker is putting up 31.5 points, 10.5 assists, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.0 treys per game in the campaign's early goings. With Bradley Beal (back) probable, Phoenix is finally set to have each piece of their "Big Three" on the hardwood with Kevin Durant for the first time in 2023-24 on Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, look for role players Grayson Allen or Josh Okogie to be relegated to head coach Frank Vogel's second unit against the Wolves.

Sun Nov 12 202318:23Devin Booker, Eric Gordon Downgraded To Out On Sunday
Phoenix Suns guards Devin Booker (calf) and Eric Gordon (shoulder) were both officially downgraded to out on Sunday and will not suit up against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Booker was already considered doubtful, but Gordon was tagged as questionable, so it seemed he had a chance to play at first. While they're on the sidelines, Josh Okogie and Jordan Goodwin should see some more opportunities off of the bench. Grayson Allen will likely remain in the starting lineup as well, so all three of the mentioned names should be solid streaming options.

Thu Nov 9 202320:34Devin Booker To Miss Friday's Game
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The star guard is set to miss his fourth game in a row while he recovers from a right calf strain. The good news is that fellow guard Bradley Beal (back) is listed as probable for this game. That means, the Suns core is almost back to full strength. The expectation is that Booker is going to be back on the floor within the next few games. In the meantime, Grayson Allen should continue to see more playing time. He'll have increased fantasy value with Booker on the sideline once again on Friday.
