Deandre Ayton - Out at least a week Ayton (ankle) will miss at least a week due to an ankle injury, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ayton was initially just ruled out for Sunday, but the team later revealed that the big man won't be evaluated for another week, leaving the Suns without one of their primary contributors. Bismack Biyombo played a season-high 22 minutes following Ayton's early departure Friday and may benefit most from the extended absence. Jock Landale is also a candidate to see extra minutes.

Deandre Ayton - Sidelined Sunday Ayton (ankle) won't take the court during Sunday's game against the Rockets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Ayton departed Friday's game versus the Pelicans prematurely after suffering an ankle injury, and the issue is severe enough to warrant at least another night off. Ayton's next chance to return arrives Tuesday versus the Timberwolves. Bismack Biyombo logged a season-high 23 minutes in his absence Friday and may be in line for a more significant role again Sunday.

Devin Booker - Poor outing against Pelicans Booker ended Friday's 124-111 victory over the Pelicans with 16 points (6-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes.
Impact Booker was coming off three straight games with at least 30 points, but he was unable to maintain the same consistency and delivered his worst outing of the campaign. There's nothing to see here outside of the fact that his was just a bad outing, and Booker's fantasy upside shouldn't see any changes going forward.
OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mikal Bridges - Impressive offensive showing Friday Bridges ended with 27 points (10-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 124-111 victory over New Orleans.
Impact Bridges surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time this season, but scoring and efficiency aside, this was his best outing of the young campaign since he also produced decent numbers in other categories. Bridges is enjoying an excellent start to the season, and he's averaging 15.4 points while shooting 62 percent from the field through five appearances.
OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bismack Biyombo - Double-doubles off bench in win Biyombo racked up 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 23 minutes during Friday's 124-111 win over New Orleans.
Impact Firmly entrenched as one of Deandre Ayton's backups alongside Jock Landale, Biyombo has to make the most of his minutes to have any relevance in fantasy and that was exactly what happened Friday -- he was efficient as a scorer, active on the glass and also provided decent numbers both as a passer and on defense, at least for his standards. That said, Biyombo played seven minutes in the season opener and didn't see the court in any of Phoenix's previous three games before Friday, so all signs point to this performance being an outlier rather than the norm going forward.

Torrey Craig - Back in action Friday Craig (eye) has returned to Friday's game against the Pelicans, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Craig went to the locker room late in the third quarter Friday after taking a shot to the face, but he returned to the matchup early in the fourth quarter. Given his quick return, it seems unlikely that the issue will significantly impact him going forward.

Deandre Ayton - Won't return Friday Ayton has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact Ayton logged four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds in eight minutes to begin Friday's matchup but exited the game late in the first quarter. His next chance to return will be Sunday against the Rockets, while Jock Landale, Bismack Biyombo and Torrey Craig should see additional playing time in Ayton's absence.
