'Had to go get that one': Josh Okogie denies taller JaMychal Green with big block in Suns romp of Warriors In a game the two teams combined for 249 points, Josh Okogie delivered the game's biggest defensive play in Phoenix's 130-119 win over Golde...
Ish Wainright - Makes season debut in garbage time Wainright recorded three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) while playing the final 1:26 of Wednesday's 130-119 win over the Warriors.
Impact The Suns built a 15-point lead with a minute and a half left in the contest, prompting head coach Monty Williams to take his regulars out of the game while allowing non-rotation players like Wainright to see the court. The limited action off the bench actually marked Wainright's season debut, as he had either not played in a coach's decision or was out due to personal reasons or a lower-back injury through the Suns' first 13 games of the campaign.

Why the Suns' win over Warriors may be the most encouraging of the season The Suns are championship contenders with Cam Johnson and Chris Paul. They are still finding their way without them.

Torrey Craig - Double-doubles in win Wednesday Craig notched 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 130-119 victory over Golden State.
Impact Craig put together another strong performance Wednesday, chalking up his first double-double of the season. He has now scored in double digits in two straight games, grabbing a total of 19 boards in the process. He is a top-50 player over the past week, and while that would indicate he is a must-add player, that is certainly not the case. At best, he should be viewed as a deeper-league asset that is currently seeing some extra minutes while the Suns work through some injuries. He can certainly be streamed in the short term across 12-team leagues, especially on low-volume nights.

Deandre Ayton - Another quiet night Wednesday Ayton recorded 14 points (7-14 FG), seven rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 130-119 victory over the Warriors.
Impact Ayton finished with a serviceable yet underwhelming line in the win, failing to record a block for the seventh time this season. He is currently the 124th-ranked player in standard leagues, well below where he was drafted. At this point, it feels as though the only way things will get back to adequate is if he is traded, something that can't happen until January.

Mikal Bridges - Teases triple-double in win Bridges closed Wednesday's 130-119 win over the Warriors with 23 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 42 minutes.
Impact Bridges came within a whisker of recording his first triple-double of the season, continuing what has been a dynamic start. He is currently putting up second-round value despite averaging just 1.0 steals per game. While he may not be able to keep this pace up for the entire season, his durability needs to be factored in when projecting his value. All things considered, he should be a relatively safe top-40 option the rest of the way.

Cameron Payne - Torches Warriors with 29 points Payne registered 29 points (9-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 130-119 win over Golden State.
Impact Payne was on fire in the win, going off for a season-high 29 points, including six triples. Known more as a pass-first player, Payne obviously felt good heading into the game and it certainly showed. He has now scored at least 22 points in three of his past four games, filling in admirably for Chris Paul, who remains out due to a heel injury. Until we get word that Paul is returning to the lineup, Payne needs to be rostered across pretty much all formats.
