GAME LOG

Chris Paul - Drops 12 dimes in win Paul supplied six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 victory over the Lakers.
Impact Paul still holds a slim lead in the assist category, averaging 10.7 assists per game. That's 0.6 assists more than James Harden, who trails him as second-best in the league. The veteran point guard tends to show some of his best stuff in the playoffs, so expect him to keep rolling as the Suns make a run for the Finals.

Cameron Payne - Collects 11 assists from bench Payne provided four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 win over the Lakers.
Impact Payne played most of the fourth quarter in garbage time, managing six of his 11 assists in that stanza. Chris Paul left the game late in the third quarter, allowing Payne to have free rein at point guard.
APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Finishes with double-double Ayton chipped in 22 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 win over the Lakers.
Impact Tuesday marked Ayton's 29th double-double, an impressive feat when you consider his attendance record. Various injuries limited Ayton to only 57 games this season, which is the lowest total of his four-year career. He is on track to meet most of his career averages in every statistical category as the season draws to a close.
APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Scores team-high 32 points Booker supplied 32 points (12-22 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 win over the Lakers.
Impact Booker laid down the hammer with 16 of his 32 points in the third quarter, helping the Suns pull away for good. The Suns hit a franchise-best 63 wins with Tuesday's victory, and it's due in large part to Booker, who is averaging career-bests in points (26.7), rebounds (5.0), steals (1.1) and blocks (0.4) over 67 games.

Landry Shamet - Near double-double in starting role Shamet recorded 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3PT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in a 117-96 loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Impact Shamet entered the starting lineup for the first time in nearly a month. While his scoring numbers were lackluster, the fourth-year guard has been able to spontaneously produce off the bench. The Wichita State product had a three-game stretch in the back half of March in which he averaged 18.0 points while shooting 56.3 percent from the field and 54.1 percent from deep.

Chris Paul - Approaches double-double Paul recorded 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 FT), nine assists, three steals and two rebounds in the 117-96 loss to the Thunder on Sunday.
Impact Paul has now picked up three steals in back-to-back games and has finished with at least one in 16 straight. Phoenix wasn't able to do much offensively without Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton, but Paul was still able to find his teammates to get good looks while remaining impactful defensively.
APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mikal Bridges - Leads team in loss Bridges finished with 18 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3PT, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal in a 117-96 loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Impact Bridges has put up 18-plus points in 10 of his last 13 contests while shooting 57.0 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from deep in those games. The fourth-year forward has recorded double-digit points in 18 straight games and in 30 of his last 31.
