Recent history says Eagles' title chances slim despite hot start

Duane Washington Jr. - Not on injury report Wednesday Washington (personal) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Washington doesn't figure to log more than a handful of minutes if he does leave the bench, but the backcourt depth could be useful for the Suns with Chris Paul (heel) scheduled to miss the game.

Chris Paul - Ruled out against Minnesota Paul (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Michael Grady of YES Network reports.

Impact Paul was questionable Wednesday after exiting Monday's matchup with a right heel injury, but he'll be forced to miss at least one game. Cameron Payne is a strong candidate to take on a starting role in Paul's absence, while Damion Lee and Landry Shamet could also see increased playing time. The general belief is that Paul's injury is not overly serious, but given his age and the Suns' long-term goals, the team will exercise some caution.

Ish Wainright - Out again Wednesday Wainright (personal) remains out for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Wainright is still tending to a personal matter and it's unclear exactly when he will be back and ready to give it a go. Even when he's ready to rock, Wainright doesn't figure to tally more than a handful of minutes on a nightly basis.

Chris Paul - Deemed questionable for Wednesday Paul (heel) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Paul was forced to leave Monday's contest due to a right heel issue, but he downplayed the injury following the game and has a chance to suit up Wednesday. However, if he's sidelined, Cameron Payne would likely enter the starting lineup, while Damion Lee, Duane Washington and Landry Shamet would be candidates for increased roles off the bench.

Chris Paul - Downplays heel issue Paul, who left Monday's loss to Philadelphia in the second quarter due to right heel soreness, said after the game that he wasn't concerned about the injury being a long-term issue...

Impact Paul came up hobbling after trying to get around a Paul Reed screen in the second quarter and was immediately subbed out. Per Bontemps, the veteran point guard didn't have any wrap or cover on his right foot after the game, which is another sign the heel issue is minor. Regardless, the Suns are off to a hot start and may elect to keep Paul sidelined for a game or two to prevent a more significant injury. Paul can likely be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota, though more information will be available when Phoenix releases its official injury report.

Cameron Payne - Steps up as CP3 replacement Payne finished Monday's 100-88 loss to Philadelphia with 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes.

Impact Payne had to embrace a more prominent role once Chris Paul (heel) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game, but he adjusted well and ended up delivering his best game of the season. He's now scored in double digits in three of his last four games off the bench, and he should step into the starting unit if Paul misses any additional time.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mikal Bridges - Goes for 15 points against PHI Bridges supplied 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 44 minutes during Monday's 100-88 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Bridges has seen his scoring figures increase in each of his five seasons in the league, and the trend has continued in the current campaign thus far. He's failed to surpass the 15-point mark in four of his last five appearances, but at least he's been extremely efficient since he's shooting 55.6 percent from the field and 58.3 percent from deep over that five-game stretch. He might be in line for a bigger role offensively in the coming games with Chris Paul (heel) likely to miss a few games in a best-case scenario.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Devin Booker - Puts up 28 points in loss Booker racked up 28 points (8-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Monday's 100-88 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Booker had a minor stretch in which he couldn't reach the 20-point mark in two out of three games in late October and early November, but those games were nothing more than bumps on the road, as the star guard continues to show why he's one of the best pure scorers in The Association. Over his last five appearances, Booker is averaging 25.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, and even if he'll have some off games from time to time, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about that going forward. His role as Phoenix's go-to player on offense is not under threat.

Cameron Johnson - Opts for surgery, out 1-to-2 months Johnson underwent surgery Tuesday to remove part of his meniscus and will be sidelined for 1-to-2 months, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnson suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee during Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers. There was concern that maybe the fourth-year forward would miss the entire season following surgery, but he appears to have avoided a more significant procedure and could return to game action before the All-Star break. Before the injury, Johnson scored in double figures in five of seven appearances and was shooting 44 percent from three. Torrey Craig has replaced Johnson in the starting five the past two games, but Damion Lee, Landry Shamet and Dario Saric are also candidates for increased roles while Johnson is sidelined.
