Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker remained hot in Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland, producing 40 points on 13-for-25 shooting in a 122-101 win. He hit five of his nine attempts from outside and missed a double-double by only two assists while collecting one rebound and one steal in 37 minutes of playing time. Booker has now posted 92 points across his last two appearances, hitting a superb 13-for-25 from deep. Minnesota's tough defense will try to slow him down next before Booker has another face-off with the Pelicans, against whom he's scored 50-plus points in three consecutive games.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (hip) is unavailable for Wednesday's tilt against Cleveland. He most recently logged 33 minutes in Monday's victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, posting 11 points. However, the 28-year-old is now on the injury report because of a sore right hip. His absence could open up more minutes for Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale, with one of them in line to move into the starting five.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (ankle) will make a second consecutive start on Wednesday against Portland. He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the contest. Williams has taken over as the starting center following Nick Richards' (foot) exit from the lineup. Richards wasn't on the initial injury report but has now been ruled out for the game. Williams put up 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds in his previous start against Boston. He should have another good game against a weak Trail Blazers squad.

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) is on track to return to action Wednesday against Portland. He missed the last game against Boston with a foot problem but isn't on the injury report on Wednesday. Grant Williams (ankle) started in Richards' place against his former team on Monday. Richards will be licking his lips ahead of Wednesday's action, as the Trail Blazers have been horrible against opposing centers defensively. Opposing fives are shooting 61.4 percent from the field against them, which is the highest number in the league, and Portland also coughs up the sixth-most rebounds to centers.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Damion Lee (knee) won't take the floor Wednesday versus Cleveland. The 31-year-old has yet to play this regular season as he has been recovering from right-knee surgery, and it is unclear if he will suit up before the end of the year. Lee played in 74 regular-season contests last year, averaging 20.4 minutes, 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.
