Kevin Durant - Goes for 26 with seven dimes Durant chipped in 26 points (12-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Durant surpassed the 25-point mark for the third game in a row and continues to operate as the Suns' main scoring threat, though he has had to embrace a bigger responsibility in the playmaking department with both Bradley Beal (back) and Devin Booker (foot) out. That should be the case going forward, and with his two All-Star teammates sidelined, Durant should remain Phoenix's go-to player on offense and with an extreme high floor.

Grayson Allen - Comes close to double-double Allen provided 19 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Allen had a bigger role on offense with both Devin Booker (foot) and Bradley Beal (back) sidelined, and the veteran responded with his best scoring output of the young season. He has eclipsed the 15-point mark in the two games the Suns haven'r had their starting backcourt duo, and he figures to have a prominent role once again when the Suns take on the Spurs in a rematch Thursday.

Jusuf Nurkic - Records double-double Nurkic provided 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Nurkic struggled with the length of Victor Wembanyama and the physicality of Zach Collins, and that led him to a subpar shooting performance, but the big man still made his presence felt after grabbing double-digit boards and swatting multiple shots for the first time in 2023-24. Nurkic is not going to bring a ton on offense since the scheme is not designed for him, but he will remain valuable in fantasy if he can keep producing near the rim. He has two double-doubles in four outings.
