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. Booker's next opportunity for another significant performance comes on Friday against the Pacers, one of the highest-paced teams in the NBA this year. He is averaging 27.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in 36 minutes per game this season.
Detroit Pistons point guard Monte Morris (quadriceps) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Hornets, meaning he will likely make his season debut. Morris, who was picked up from Washington for a second-round pick in the summer, has been unavailable so far in 2023-24 due to a right quadriceps strain. The 28-year-old has put up solid numbers throughout his six-year NBA career, but it's unclear where he will fit in Detroit's plans, as the backcourt is full of young prospects who need playing time to develop.
Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (knee) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Allen will be available for this game after suffering a left knee injury during Sunday's contest. The expectation is that Allen will resume his role in the starting five. He has been a solid option for the Suns this season. He'll likely have an increased role as well with Eric Gordon (wrist) ruled out on Monday.
Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee will shift into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers are going to need Plumlee to step up with Ivica Zubac (calf) sidelined for at least the next four weeks. Plumlee will get the starting nod on Tuesday, while Daniel Theis operates as the primary backup center. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Theis gets a few starts depending on the matchup. Both players could have streaming appeal depending on the matchup, but aren't must-have fantasy options.
Phoenix Suns center Bol Bol (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man will miss his second straight game due to right foot soreness. However, the absence of Bol is unlikely to have a significant impact on the rotation. Chimezie Metu has been playing better lately, so Bol would be behind him anyway. Honestly, neither player is doing enough to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats right now.
