Devin Booker Fantasy Stats

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
