Phoenix Suns defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 130-104 as six players score in double figures.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Landry Shamet - Drills three triples Shamet notched 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 130-104 win over the Lakers.
Impact Shamet scored nine of his 13 points from beyond the arc and also notched his first block since Dec. 11. He's been inconsistent at best in terms of scoring, finishing in double figures in only two of his last seven appearances.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ish Wainright - Handed extra minutes in blowout Wainright provided eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Monday's 130-104 win over the Lakers.
Impact Wainright benefitted from the Suns jumping out to a large lead, handling his most playing time since Dec. 4 against the Spurs (28 minutes). The Baylor product tied his best mark of the season with eight points and also turned in his best rebounding performance since Nov. 20.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Torrey Craig - Puts up 17 points Craig logged 17 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 130-104 win over the Lakers.
Impact Craig bounced back Monday night after failing to score in Saturday's clash against the Pelicans. He turned in a neat shooting line and also got it going from beyond the arc, knocking down four triples for the second time in six contests. Craig has scored in double figures in four of seven matchups in December.

Josh Okogie - Shut down early Okogie won't return to Monday's game against the Lakers due to right hip soreness.
Impact Okogie looked uncomfortable after heading to the sideline in the second half, and the team ruled him out shortly thereafter. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information on his injury comes to light.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Damion Lee - Gets chance with first unit Lee is starting Monday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact Lee will start in place of Devin Booker, who will miss Monday's contest due to a groin issue. This marks Lee's first start of the 2022-23 campaign.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bismack Biyombo - Back to bench Biyombo isn't starting Monday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact Biyombo started his team's last two contests while Deandre Ayton recovered from an ankle injury, but he'll head back to the bench with Ayton returning to play. Biyombo is averaging 3.3 points and 1.1 blocks in his last seven appearances off the bench.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Available Monday Ayton is available for Monday's contest against the Lakers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Ayton will officially make his return to the court after missing the Suns' previous three outings with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old center is averaging 17.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists across his first 26 appearances this season. Bismack Biyombo figures to return to his normal reserve role with Ayton back in the lineup.

Devin Booker - Ruled out Monday night Booker (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Booker is coming off a season-high 58 points, but he'll sit out the first half of a back-to-back set Monday with groin soreness. The superstar's absence is possibly precautionary, as he recently sat out back-to-back games due to a hamstring injury, but the severity of his current issue remains unclear. Landry Shamet figures to enter the starting lineup in Booker's place, and Damion Lee is also a candidate for increased minutes off the bench.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Goes through shootaround Ayton (ankle) is listed as questionable but participated in shootaround ahead of Monday's matchup against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Ayton has missed back-to-back games due to a left ankle sprain and is listed as questionable, but his participation at shootaround suggests the big man could be back in the mix Monday. In the 10 games before his injury, Ayton posted 21.8 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 blocks in 30.9 minutes, though it's possible he'll be limited if he's deemed available against the Lakers.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Duane Washington Jr. - Out again Monday Washington (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Lakers.
Impact Washington is slated to miss an eighth straight game due to a left hip strain. Monday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back set, so the backup point guard figures to be out for the second half as well, though fantasy managers should still confirm that's the case when Phoenix releases its injury report for Tuesday's contest against the Wizards.

Los Angeles visits Phoenix after Booker's 58-point performance

Phoenix takes on the Los Angeles Lakers after Devin Booker scored 58 points in the Phoenix Suns' 118-114 victory against the New Orleans Pelicans
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Deandre Ayton - Questionable Monday Ayton (ankle) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact The big man has missed the last two games with a sprained left ankle, and the Suns will wait to see how he feels Monday before making a decision on his status. Phoenix also plays Tuesday against Washington, so Ayton's status will be worth monitoring closely before weekly fantasy lineups lock Monday evening.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Questionable for Monday Booker has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers due to groin soreness, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Booker is coming off a fantastic performance against the Pelicans on Saturday, when he delivered a season-high 58 points to go along with six rebounds and five assists. But it seems the effort of the massive comeback against New Orleans, as well as playing 42 minutes, took a toll on the star guard. If he can't play Monday, then Landry Shamet or Damion Lee would be in line to see more minutes.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jock Landale - In concussion protocol Landale will not play Monday against the Lakers due to a concussion, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact The big man suffered a concussion Saturday against the Pelicans and will begin the week on the inactive list. The Suns are entering a back-to-back set, so chances are Landale will miss Tuesday's game against Washington, as well.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Payne - Out Monday Payne (foot) will not play Monday against the Lakers, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact Payne will sit for the third straight game as he continues to nurse a sprained right foot. The Suns are heading into a back-to-back, so it should not be a surprise if Payne remains out Tuesday against Washington, as well.
