GAME LOG

Saben Lee - Rare appearance in victory Lee totaled nine points (2-2 FG, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 129-113 win over the Rockets.
Impact Lee saw action for just the second time in the past eight games, finishing with nine points in 12 minutes. Although he does have a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, Lee rarely sees enough playing time to be considered a viable fantasy asset, even in deeper formats. Barring several injuries to other players, Lee seems destined to remain on the waiver wire for the remainder of the season.

Drew Eubanks - Shifts back to bench Eubanks won't start Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Impact Eubanks enjoyed a two-game stint in the starting lineup due to the absence of Jusuf Nurkic. However, with Nurkic back in action, Eubanks will return to his typical reserve role. In his last 13 games, Eubanks is averaging 4.5 points and 4.3 rebounds across 15.5 minutes.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Okogie - Upgraded to available Okogie (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact As expected, Okogie has been upgraded from probable to available. He returned from a five-game absence Monday and played 12 minutes in a loss to Dallas, totaling one point, two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 12 minutes.

Jusuf Nurkic - Available Wednesday Nurkic (personal) is available for Wednesday's game in Houston.
Impact As expected, Nurkic has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action following a two-game absence due to personal reasons. Across nine December appearances, Nurkic is averaging 14.6 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 30.1 minutes per game. He shouldn't face any restrictions during Wednesday's contest.

Jusuf Nurkic - Probable for Wednesday Nurkic (personal) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Impact This is great news for a Phoenix team that has been without its starting center for the past two games. Nurkic will presumably be back in the starting lineup, where he will be matched up against Alperen Sengun. Through nine December contests, Nurkic has averaged 14.6 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Josh Okogie - Gets light minutes in return Okogie (hip) played 12 minutes in Monday's 128-114 loss to the Mavericks, finishing with one point (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Impact Okogie had missed the Suns' strained left hip, but he was back in action Christmas Day, albeit in a bench role after he had started in both of his last two appearances. He made a visit to the locker room at one point after he appeared to aggravate the hip issue, but he was cleared to return to the contest. Okogie could continue to hold down a minor role in the Phoenix rotation in the short term, though he might be squeezed for minutes once the Suns get the likes of Jusuf Nurkic (personal) and Bradley Beal (ankle) back in action.
DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Poor showing on Christmas Durant totaled 16 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block over 43 minutes during Monday's 128-114 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Durant might have ended two rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double, but he struggled badly from the field, and his shooting woes certainly played a role in Phoenix losing to Dallas after a second-half comeback and a subsequent fourth-quarter meltdown from the Suns. Durant can be prone to having poor shooting efforts from time to time, but he will try to bounce back when the Suns take on the Rockets on Wednesday.
DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chimezie Metu - Stars despite loss to Dallas Metu finished Monday's 128-114 loss to the Mavericks with 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes.
Impact Metu had one of the best performances of his career, as he came off the bench and made a strong case for more minutes going forward with an impressive double-double. He shattered his previous season-high marks in both points and rebounds, but fantasy managers shouldn't make risky decisions based on one game, and Metu will not have a lot of upside until he can see steady minutes over an extended stretch.
DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - 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.

After another Suns loss, their biggest issue is clear — they cannot stop anyone Through 27 games, Phoenix has beaten just two teams that currently have winning records as their defensive struggles continue.
