Mikal Bridges - Struggles with efficiency in loss Bridges posted eight points (3-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six assists and four rebounds in Friday's 114-97 loss to the Magic.
Impact Bridges couldn't replicate his season-high 31 points from the previous game against Minnesota. With Chris Paul (heel) out, Bridges was unable to provide the scoring spark the Suns needed out of him. The 26-year-old forward also failed to record either a steal or a block for the first time this season.

Jock Landale - Seven points, six boards off bench Landale registered seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds across 13 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to Orlando.
Impact Landale took only three shots in the first half, connecting on two of them for four points while also adding four first-half assists. He added another three points in the third quarter before sitting for all of the fourth as the Magic ran away with the lead. Landale is averaging just under eight points per game off the bench for Phoenix and has registered six or more rebounds in five of 12 contests to begin the season.

Cameron Payne - Game-high 22 points in loss Payne produced 22 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to Orlando.
Impact Payne got off to a solid start, hitting both of his shots in the first quarter while also dishing an assist to Deandre Ayton for an easy dunk. The Suns point guard did, however, turn the ball over three consecutive times between the end of the first quarter and the start of the second to help the Magic jump out to an early lead. He finished the first half with 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting before adding another 11 points in the second half to give him a team-high 22 on the night. Payne has now recorded back-to-back 20-point games in both of his starts in place of the injured Chris Paul (heel).

Devin Booker - Struggles from field in loss Booker logged 17 points (6-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to Orlando.
Impact Booker struggled to get it going on offense Friday, collecting just nine points in the first half on 4-of-10 shooting, though he did add four rebounds and four assists at the break. His poor shooting continued in the second half as he went just 2-of-9 from the field, including 1-of-6 in the third quarter while the Magic increased their lead. Booker shot 31.6 percent from the field in the contest, his worst shooting percentage in any game this season. He did, however, collect a season-high eight rebounds.

Chris Paul - Remains sidelined Friday Paul (heel) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Paul will miss his second consecutive game due to a right heel injury. Cameron Payne is likely to start once again in Paul's place Friday. The 37-year-old point guard's next opportunity to play will be Monday's game against the Heat.

Landry Shamet - Won't play Friday Shamet has been ruled out for Friday's game against Orlando due to concussion symptoms, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Shamet tallied 16 points and an assist in 19 minutes Wednesday against Minnesota but will be unavailable for at least one game due to his concussion symptoms. Whether he'll be available for Monday's game in Miami remains to be seen.

Chris Paul - Questionable Friday Paul (heel) is considered a question mark for Friday's game versus the Magic, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Paul downplayed his heel injury after leaving Monday's game against the Sixers, and his questionable status for Friday would seemingly indicate a return is on the table after missing just one contest. Cameron Payne would presumably draw another start if Paul can't play.

Devin Booker - Goes for 32 points in win Booker delivered 32 points (12-23 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 129-117 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact Cameron Payne might have gotten the starting nod at point guard, but Booker was the primary ball-handler with Chris Paul (heel) sidelined and it showed, as the 10-assist tally was a season-high mark for him. Booker has now scored at least 30 points in five of his 11 appearances this season, and if he's already one of the best guards in the league across all fantasy formats, he's going to be even better while Paul remains sidelined, which might be the case again Friday in a road matchup against the Magic.
NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mikal Bridges - Scores season-high 31 points Bridges posted 31 points (12-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and a block across 42 minutes in Wednesday's 129-117 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact Bridges delivered his best performance of the season by a wide margin, surpassing the 30-point plateau for the first time, recording a season-high mark in steals and posting his second-highest tallies in both rebounds and assists. He should definitively get more touches on offense while Chris Paul (heel) is sidelined, so he might be in line for an uptick in usage -- and numbers -- in the short-term picture. Phoenix's next game will be against the Magic on Friday.
NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Payne - Strong output as starter Payne delivered 23 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and a steal across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 129-117 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact Payne got his first start of the season with Chris Paul (heel) sidelined and thrived, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first time in the current campaign and also ending just two dimes shy of a double-double. He posted season-best marks in points, rebounds and assists, and he continues to produce -- he's now scored in double digits in four of his last five contests. Payne should remain in the starting unit if Paul is unable to suit up against the Magic on Friday.
