Struggles with turnovers in loss Booker chipped in 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 138-111 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Booker had an efficient shooting performance and reached the 20-point mark for the 17th time in his past 18 games, but his overall output was subpar by his standards. The point guard failed to record a rebound for the second straight game, didn't notch any defensive stats and recorded more turnovers (six) than assists (five). Not coincidentally, he finished with a team-worst negative-31 plus-minus. Of course, Booker is bound to be much better most times he takes the court, and his per-game averages of 26.1 points, 7.8 dimes, 4.0 boards and 2.1 triples this season have been excellent.

Double-double against Miami Booker amassed 20 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 113-97 victory over Miami.
Impact Grayson Allen carried the Suns on offense and Bradley Beal sniffed a triple-double. Still, Booker made his presence felt as well, recording double-digit assists for the seventh time this season and being a reliable scoring threat even on a subpar shooting performance. After all, Booker needed 19 shots to score 20 points, which is uncharacteristic for him. Booker will probably remain as Phoenix's main playmaker going forward, especially with Kevin Durant (hamstring) out, but that shouldn't impact his scoring numbers. Over his last 10 appearances, Booker is averaging 23.8 points, 7.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game while shooting 46 percent from the field.

Pours in 35 points in loss Booker amassed 35 points (11-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Booker's team-leading point total came on a very efficient 11-for-15 line that included a 5-for-8 mark from deep. The five triples tied a season high for the star guard, and it's a mark he's hit twice over his past four games. Despite Wednesday's loss, Booker's performance was a nice bounce-back from the 10-point, 4-for-16 outing he recorded against Portland on New Year's Day in his previous outing.

Strong all-around showing Booker ended with 21 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-107 victory over the Magic.
Impact Booker was impressive Sunday and played a prominent role in the Suns' tight win over the Magic. Booker scored at least 20 points in every game since the start of December, and while he had some tough outings from time to time, he still averaged 26.9 points per game while shooting 47.2 percent from the field in that span.

Struggles from field Monday Booker registered 20 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Monday's 128-114 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Booker didn't have a good performance Monday, and while his 10 assists were a positive sign given he was the one in charge of orchestrating the offense, his scoring figures were subpar due to his shooting woes. Despite the shooting woes, Booker continues to produce at a high level and has scored 20 or more points in 10 straight appearances while shooting 47 percent from the field in that span.

Goes for 24 points in loss Booker recorded 24 points (9-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Kings.
Impact Booker has been extremely consistent of late while adjusting to play as the Suns' second offensive option behind Kevin Durant, and that change of role means he's experienced a massive uptick in the playmaking department. Booker has registered at least 25 points and at least seven assists in each of his last seven outings while shooting 49 percent from the field and committing just 2.3 turnovers per game in that stretch.

Posts 26 points in loss Booker had 26 points (11-25 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 109-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Booker had some trouble finding his shot in a tepid showing by the entire squad, save Kevin Durant, who finished with 40 points. The Suns continue to have trouble getting sufficient bench production to support the starting lineup, and the team will need to make sure they don't overwork Booker and Durant unnecessarily. The eventual return of Bradley Beal (ankle) will ease Booker's load considerably.

Sparks late rally in win Booker logged 27 points (10-24 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 victory over the Wizards.
Impact Booker started the game ice-cold, but he turned things around in the second half and scored 11 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter. Booker carried the frontcourt without Bradley Beal (ankle), and favorable numbers should continue for the All-Star during Beal's absence.

Sniffs double-double in loss Booker amassed 28 points (11-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and nine assists across 37 minutes during Friday's 139-122 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Although Booker suffered through a tepid shooting night, he was still able to produce a solid total in the loss. The Suns' backcourt was just getting to full strength with the addition of Bradley Beal (ankle), and his exit put additional pressure on Booker as a ball distributor. The All-Star responded with nine assists, and he's recorded 41 assists over the last five games.

Outstanding despite loss Booker supplied 34 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 14-15 FT), six rebounds and 12 assists over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 loss to the Nets.
Impact Wednesday marked the first time this season that Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal have been on the court together for Phoenix, though the trio fell just short of a victory against a balanced Brooklyn club. Among the Suns' three stars, Booker shined the brightest, leading the team with 34 points (on an efficient 9-for-15 mark from the field and 14-for-15 effort from the charity stripe) and 12 dimes. Booker has been red hot of late, averaging 31.3 points on 59.6 percent shooting from the field over his past three games.

Impact Booker carried the team with Kevin Durant (ankle) out for a second straight game. He fought off an uncharacteristically solid game from Golden State's bench and contributed in every major category. The All-Star is obviously a universal must-start in all fantasy formats.
