Devin Booker - Set to play Tuesday Booker (groin) will play Tuesday against the Nets, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
Impact Coach Monty Williams said Monday that he expected Booker to play against Brooklyn, and the shooting guard has indicated that he'll be available for the first time since Christmas Day. The 26-year-old averaged 27.1 points, 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 34.6 minutes per game over 29 appearances prior to his absence but will likely face a significant minutes restriction Tuesday. The shooting guard will likely reclaim a starting role against the Nets, but Damion Lee and Torrey Craig could still see slightly increased run if Booker is eased into action.

Devin Booker - Expected to return Tuesday Suns head coach Monty Williams said Monday that he expects Booker (groin) to play in Tuesday's game against the Nets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Booker looks on track to suit up for the first time Christmas Day, and he'll presumably have a minutes restriction in place in his return from a six-week absence. With Booker expected back, Torrey Craig will likely shift to the second unit, and there will be less usage for Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson.

Saben Lee - Provides modest stats as backup Lee closed with four points (0-1 FG, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 15 minutes during Saturday's 116-100 win over the Pistons.
Impact Like Chris Paul, Lee struggled to score from the point guard position in Saturday's win, but he still managed to provide a bit of value in steals and assists. With no Duane Washington in Phoenix now, perhaps Lee can carve out a larger backup role in the rotation until Cameron Payne (foot) returns. Until then, he should be considered in only very deep formats.
FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Johnson - Hot shooting in return Johnson contributed 20 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Saturday's 116-100 victory over Detroit.
Impact After sitting out last game (knee), Johnson returned to the starting lineup and put up his fourth 20-point game of the season. For the second straight game, he saw less minutes than Torrey Craig, and other than two steals he didn't add much in the other major categories. In his 16 games played this season, the 26-year-old Johnson is averaging only 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals, so when the scoring isn't there, he still isn't providing much fantasy value.
FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Paul - Nice game despite poor shooting Paul provided two points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 14 assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 116-100 victory over the Pistons.
Impact Paul has had some rough shooting nights to start the month of February but none quite as bad as Saturday night. His only points (2) came from the free-throw line. Fortunately for fantasy managers, he did attempt only seven shots, so that lessens the categorical impact a bit. On top of that, the veteran guard certainly made up for it by dishing out 14 dimes, his highest output since Christmas Day. The inefficient scoring might continue, but Paul provides enough elsewhere to maintain his usual value in fantasy.
FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Leading scorer in win Ayton ended with 31 points (13-15 FG, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 116-100 win over the Pistons.
Impact Ayton missed only two field-goal attempts all night and recorded his ninth double-double in the last 12 games. While this kind of shooting efficiency isn't going to stick around, his usage should continue to have a positive impact. He has made at least nine shots in four of his last five contests. The 2018 top draft pick also added a block for the second straight game, and fantasy managers would love to see him improve more in this category.
