Chris Paul - Top distributor in winning effort Paul logged nine points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and five steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 victory over the Nets.
Impact Paul was the lone player in Tuesday's game to tally 10 or more assists, also leading the team in steals while finishing one point shy of a double-double outing. Paul has posted 10 or more assists 16 times this season, including in two straight games.

Deandre Ayton - Provides 30-point double-double Ayton closed with a career-high 35 points (14-18 FG, 7-8 FT) to go with 15 rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 victory over the Nets.
Impact Fresh off delivering a 31-point, 16-rebound double-double against the Pistons on Saturday, Ayton came through with another dominant effort versus an undermanned Nets squad. Since returning in late January following a three-game absence due to an illness, Ayton has been playing his best basketball of the season. In his first seven games back in action, he's averaging 23.4 points, 13.0 boards and 2.0 assists in 32.4 minutes while shooting 60 percent from the field and 76.5 percent from the charity stripe.

Devin Booker - Supplies balanced showing in return Booker (groin) recorded 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists and four rebounds in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 win over Brooklyn.
Impact Suiting up for the first time since Christmas Day, Booker was on a playing-time restriction but nonetheless turned in a solid performance aside from some poor shooting from the field and free-throw line, which isn't unexpected given his long layoff. Booker may be under a restriction for the next game or two, but it likely won't be long before he resumes playing around 35 minutes per contest.
