Devin Booker DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard missed the final game before the All-Star break due to a back issue. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about it as the Suns likely rested him knowing it was the last game before the break. Booker appears to be fine now and ready to resume his role in the starting five. Booker has been excellent this season and is a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (back) will come out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. He hurt his back in Tuesday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies as Phoenix kicked off a back-to-back. With Bradley Beal (toe) also out, Kevin Durant will be the last man standing among the Suns' Big Three. He netted a game-high 34 points in Tuesday's loss against Memphis to become the eighth player in NBA history with 30,000 career points. Given Phoenix's injury situation, Tyus Jones and Ryan Dunn should take on additional offensive duties in Wednesday's game.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) was listed as questionable for the team's Tuesday night home game against Memphis, but he was upgraded to available 30 minutes before tip-off. Booker has missed the last five games with a groin injury but will start for Phoenix in the team's final game of 2024. In his 26 games this season, Booker has averaged 25.1 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. He could only be available for limited minutes, but his return means he can be started in all fantasy formats. While Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal get a slight downgrade for DFS contests, Booker's return is great news for the Suns.
