According to Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer, guard Devin Booker (ankle) looked "great" in Tuesday's practice, adding he's "ready to go." The 27-year-old sat out the Suns' previous two contests because of right ankle soreness. However, the team was likely playing things safe. Booker is coming off a quality season, averaging 27.1 points, 6.9 assists, and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 36.4% from behind the arc. While he's a capable performer, he hasn't played more than 68 games in any of his previous four seasons, which is something for fantasy managers to consider ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker set a new playoff career high with 49 points in Sunday's Game 4 loss to Minnesota. The four-time All-Star shot 13-for-21 from the field with a 3-for-5 record from deep and hit 20 of his 21 free throws, but the Suns couldn't stay alive in the series despite Booker's monster effort. Booker, who also posted five rebounds, six assists, two steals, and one block on Sunday, is now 0-4 for his career in elimination games. He had previously averaged only 14.0 points in elimination games, so Booker took a major step forward from a personal perspective, but the Suns as a team seem stuck in the same place. Since reaching the Finals in 2021, Phoenix has won only two playoff series, going 10-13 in the postseason.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker had a team-high 20 points in Tuesday's Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves. He finished 6-for-13 shooting from the field and went 7-for-8 at the charity stripe. Phoenix had a miserable night offensively in a 105-93 loss, and it was summed up well by Booker's 1-for-6 effort from deep. The Suns star also collected three rebounds, five assists, and two steals with six turnovers before fouling out with a couple of minutes remaining in the game. Head coach Frank Vogel's team is now down 2-0 in the series, and Phoenix will need a lot more from Booker to turn things around. He's shot below 40 percent in the series so far, averaging 19.0 points.
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 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.
