Chris Paul - Struggles from deep Paul posted 11 points (5-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 41 minutes during Thursday's 129-124 victory over the Clippers in Game...
Impact Paul couldn't buy a bucket from three-point range and committed three turnovers, but the Suns pulled out back-to-back wins thanks to a superstar performance from Devin Booker. The veteran point guard is averaging 11.3 points, 8.3 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals through the Suns' first three playoff games, but he's shooting just 37.5 percent from the field and 18.2 percent from deep.

Torrey Craig - Solid shooting night in win Craig closed with 15 points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Thursday's 129-124 win over the Clippers in Game 3 of the Western Confer...
Impact Craig continues to take advantage of wide-open shots created by Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. The undrafted product out of USC Upstate has sank at least two triples and scored 15-plus points in all three postseason games so far, posting 18 points per game while shooting 62.5 percent from deep.

Deandre Ayton - Double-doubles in Game 3 win Ayton had 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 FT), 11 rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 129-124 victory over the Clippers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfin...
Impact Ayton has posted a double-double in back-to-back contests, and the Suns have claimed a 2-1 lead over the Clippers after dropping Game 1. Through three playoff contests, the fifth-year big man is averaging 14.7 points and 10.7 rebounds, but he's shooting just 60 percent from the free-throw line. Ayton shot 76 percent from the charity stripe during the regular season and has never shot below 74 percent in his career, so an uptick in that department could bode well for his overall production moving forward.
APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Busy night at charity stripe Durant closed Thursday's 129-124 victory over the Clippers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 28 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), six rebounds, five assists...
Impact Durant needed just 15 shots to score 28 points, finishing second on the team behind Devin Booker (45). The veteran superstar is now averaging 26.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks with 51/28/96 shooting spilts over his first three postseason games with Phoenix. As long as Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (knee) remain sidelined, Durant and Booker should garner favorable matchups during Saturday's Game 4.
APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Scores game-high 45 points in win Booker recorded 45 points (18-29 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 45 minutes during Thursday's 129-124 victory over the Clippers in...
Impact After scoring 26 points in the Game 1 loss, Booker has posted 38 and 45 points, respectively, during the Suns' first two postseason wins this season. The All-Star shooting guard also stepped up defensively Thursday, recording multiple tallies in each defensive category while grabbing a playoff-high six boards. If Kawhi Leonard (knee) remains sidelined with Paul George (knee) during Saturday's Game 4, Booker and Kevin Durant should be able to exploit favorable matchups once again.
