Josh Okogie - Cleared to make debut Saturday Okogie (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Okogie is cleared to make his season debut after missing the first five games of the season due to a right hamstring strain. Okogie will likely see a limited role at first, as Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale have thrived to start the campaign.

Mason Plumlee - Solid all-around outing Thursday Plumlee finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two steals and one block across 17 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 win over the Clippers.
Impact The veteran big man stuffed the stat sheet in his limited run, serving as Jusuf Nurkic's primary backup. Plumlee tied his season high with eight points, and he also set a new season best in steals. Through five regular-season outings, the 34-year-old has averaged 5.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 stocks while shooting 64.3 percent across 17.4 minutes per game.

Tyus Jones - Sets team high in assists Thursday Jones chipped in seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 assists and three rebounds across 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 victory over the Clippers.
Impact Jones led the Suns with a team-high 11 assists Thursday. The 28-year-old has been a significant part of the lineup, playing 30-plus minutes in every game and dishing out seven or more assists in three of them. Through five regular-season outings, Jones has averaged 9.4 points, 7.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals-plus-blocks while shooting 46.3 percent from the floor across 32.4 minutes per game.

What we learned about the Phoenix Suns after second straight double-digit comeback win The Phoenix Suns begin a three-game homestand Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Royce O'Neale - Wakes up with 21 points O'Neale logged 21 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 win over the Clippers.
Impact O'Neale's production shot up significantly, and it's too soon to say if the spike is an outlier or a sign of future success. The deck is stacked against him due to a packed depth chart, but if he can come close to 30 minutes on a nightly basis, he may be able to generate productive lines that will exceed previous expectations.
NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Dunn - Fills in with 16 points Dunn amassed 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 victory over the Clippers.
Impact Beal (elbow) sat out to rest his elbow, giving Dunn his second start of the season.The Virginia product was expected to be more of a development player, but he's already making an impact, especially on defense. He's versatile enough to fill in at multiple positions, and his 6-6 frame is deceiving thanks to a huge wingspan. Dunn's results are bad news for those who drafted Grayson Allen, as his role will be compromised if Dunn sees steady improvement.
NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Rallies for 40 points Booker recorded 40 points (11-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 13-15 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 win over the Clippers.
Impact The Suns caught fire in the second half, with Booker and Kevin Durant erasing a 21-point deficit to best the Clippers for the second time this season. The Clippers had no answer for Booker, who had a great defensive performance alongside his voluminous scoring total. If Booker and the rest of the elites can stay healthy the look like a very tough team to beat.
