Terrence Ross - Will be available Sunday Ross (toe) has been upgraded to available and will play Sunday against the Mavericks.

Impact Ross was listed as probable earlier this week, so his availability for this game isn't surprising. The veteran wing should come off the bench against the Mavericks after missing the Suns' previous two contests.

MARCH 4, 2023

Terrence Ross - Likely to play Sunday Ross (toe) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Ross has missed a pair of contests with toe soreness but will likely return Sunday. In his first three appearances with the Suns, Ross averaged 10.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 21.7 minutes but will probably see a reduced workload with Kevin Durant back in action.

Deandre Ayton - Questionable at Dallas Ayton (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Ayton had a muted outing in the Suns' blowout win over the Bulls on Friday, and the center failed to practice Saturday. If he misses his first game since Jan. 24, Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo would see more run.

Deandre Ayton - Doesn't practice Saturday Ayton did not practice Saturday due to a knee injury, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Ayton is getting treatment on his knee, and the medical staff is gathering more information before determining the center's status for Sunday's game at Dallas. Ayton played 27 minutes during Friday's 125-104 win over the Bulls, producing just seven points, three rebounds and one steal.

5 takeaways as Suns improve to 2-0 with Kevin Durant in Devin Booker's second straight 30-point night Devin Booker remains hot as the Suns are 2-0 with Kevin Durant after Friday's win at Chicago.

MARCH 4, 2023 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Chris Paul - Sneaky double-double in win Paul posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 125-104 win over the Bulls.

Impact Paul remained quiet on the offensive end but made up for it with 10 assists and two steals. With Kevin Durant now in town, Paul simply doesn't have to should much of the load when it comes to scoring. With that said, racking up assists shouldn't be a problem given the talent around him. With age continuing to nip at his heels, Paul's overall value continues to slowly decline, although he remains an elite contributor in both assists and steals.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jock Landale - Logs 21 minutes in blowout Landale amassed nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 21 minutes during Friday's 125-104 win over Chicago.

Impact Landale had a decent evening Friday, delivering arguably his best performance in more than a month. While it appears as though he has locked up the backup center role, with Deandre Ayton healthy, he typically won't see more than about 16-18 minutes per night. He can have some deeper league appeal for anyone in need of boards and blocks, although that is really the limit of his fantasy appeal.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Okogie - Offensive explosion Friday Okogie notched 25 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and four rebounds over 32 minutes during Friday's 125-104 win over the Bulls.

Impact Okogie went off for 25 points including five triples, rewarding anyone who accidentally forgot to drop him. While this was obviously a fantastic outing, managers should not expect production like this very often. With Kevin Durant healthy, Okogie is clearly the fifth option on offense, with the bulk of his value likely to come from steals. Feel free to hold him for another game but do remember that this could very well be the most he scores for the remainder of the season.
