Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker followed up his 44-point outing in the team's last game with a 51-point effort against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. The 26-year-old superstar shot a crazy 20-for-25 from the floor and only missed one of his seven attempts from beyond the arc. He also added four rebounds, six assists, and one steal. He's already providing value higher than his ADP as he's now ranked 13th and just barely outside of first-round value in a 12-team league. His scoring and efficiency will always be his calling-card across all formats, but he's seen new highs in rebounding in assists as well.
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker posted his second-highest scoring mark of the season in Monday's win over the Kings, going for 44 points on 17-for-28 shooting. Five of his misses came with six attempts from behind the arc. Booker added eight rebounds, four assists and an incredible six steals to his line with six turnovers in 41 minutes. This was a superb performance from the Suns stars, even though Booker himself noted after the game that he simply did what he gets paid to do. Booker will be out to prove his worth next against the Bulls on Wednesday. Chicago and its rock-solid defense will be a tough challenge for him, but Booker will then find himself in a pair of very favorable matchups against Houston and San Antonio.
Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne finished with 17 points, five assists, and three steals in Friday's loss to Utah. After scoring 29 points against the Warriors on Wednesday, the 29-year-old cooled off. In all fairness, Devin Booker's 49-point performance held back all of his teammates on the scoring end. Nonetheless, Payne has averaged 20.8 points in four starts this season, so as long as Chris Paul (heel) remains sidelined, he should be featured in nearly every fantasy lineup.
Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton had a fine performance despite his team losing to the Jazz on Friday. The 24-year-old finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds, falling only two assists shy of a triple-double. He also got after it defensively by swatting three shots. After a turbulent offseason, Ayton has averaged 14.6 points and 7.7 rebounds while shooting 56.8% from the field in 13 games, all down from his marks in 2021-22. With that said, there's a good chance he will pick things up soon, so fantasy managers should remain patient.
Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig had 16 points in Friday's loss to Utah. He also added six rebounds and a steal. Craig has scored in double figures in each of his last three games. While the 31-year-old won't be a day-to-day fantasy producer moving ahead, he should continue to benefit with Cameron Johnson (knee) and Jae Crowder (personal) out of the lineup. Fantasy managers in deeper setups should consider getting him on the roster.
