Chris Paul - Delivers 13 assists in win Paul produced 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 111-95 victory over the Clippers.
Impact Paul handed out a game-high 13 assists, falling two short of his season-high mark set all the way back on Oct. 30. Since returning from injury, Paul has been up and down, although he has now scored double-digit points in two consecutive games. He is undoubtedly transitioning into being more of a pass-first point guard, which has always appeared to be a priority compared to scoring. While he is likely to take a bit of a hit when it comes to per-game value this season, he should still be a steady top-50 player ROS, barring injuries, of course.

Devin Booker - Rusty performance in return Booker closed Thursday's 111-95 victory over the Clippers with 14 points (6-22 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes.
Impact Booker picked a perfect game in which to return, required to do the bare minimum as the Suns easily accounted for an undermanned Clippers. While the shooting was predictably off, the fact he played 35 minutes points to him being fully recovered from his recent hamstring injury. His next chance to impress will come in a classic encounter against the Pelicans on Saturday.

Jock Landale - Second career double-double Landale finished Thursday's 111-95 victory over the Clippers with 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 27 minutes.
Impact Landale came off the bench in the win but outplayed starter Bismack Biyombo. He came through with just the second double-double of his career, playing a season-high 27 minutes. While he is a name to watch for as long as Deandre Ayton (ankle) is sidelined, recent history would tell us that Biyombo remains the priority when it comes to short-term fantasy value.
