MARCH 21, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Elfrid Payton - Will start Sunday Payton will start Sunday's contest against the Kings, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact With Camerson Payne (illness) sidelined, Payton will draw his first start of the season. Aaron Holiday is also expected to see an increased role off the bench, but Devin Booker will likely handle the majority of the offensive playmaking responsibilities.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae Crowder - Will play Sunday Crowder (groin) is available for Sunday's contest against the Kings, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Crowder has missed back-to-back games due to a groin issue. He's expected to start in his return, but he may be facing a minutes restriction. Over his last eight appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 28.4 minutes per game.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Payne - Won't play Sunday Payne has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Kings due to a non-COVID illness, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Payne has been playing excellent in Chris Paul's (thumb) absence, averaging 14.2 points and 9.5 assists across his last 10 games. In his absence, Aaron Holiday will likely start at point guard, but Devin Booker is still expected to handle the majority of the offensive playmaking responsibilities. The lefty's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Timberwolves.

Cameron Johnson - Out again Sunday Johnson (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Johnson will miss a ninth consecutive game Sunday due to a bruised right quad. With Jae Crowder (groin) questionable to play, Torrey Craig could see some extra minutes against Sacramento.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae Crowder - Questionable Sunday Crowder (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Crowder could be back following a two-game absence. If he does return, he could have his minutes monitored. Cameron Johnson (quad) remains out for Phoenix.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae Crowder - Showing improvement Coach Monty Williams said Saturday that Crowder (groin) "is a lot better then he was even a few days ago," Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Crowder has missed two straight games due to a sore groin, but he appears to be trending in a positive direction. The veteran is questionable for Sunday's contest at Sacramento. Torrey Craig has performed well as part of the starting unit in Crowder's stead.

Cameron Payne - Scores 15 with seven dimes Payne racked up 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 129-102 win over the Bulls.
Impact Payne continues to be a productive fantasy option alongside Devin Booker -- particularly for managers in need of assists and points. He's now scored at least 15 points five times in his last nine games while handing out at least seven assists eight times in that stretch.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Double-doubles in win over Bulls Ayton ended with 20 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Friday's 129-102 win over the Bulls.
Impact Even without Chris Paul, the Suns continue to roll through their late-season schedule, and Ayton is a big reason why. The top pick in 2018 posted his third double-double in the last four games and his seventh 20-point effort since the All-Star break. In that span (13 games), Ayton is up to 18.8 points, 9.2 boards and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 67.3 percent from the floor.

Impact Crowder will be sidelined for a second consecutive matchup as he continues to deal with a sore groin. Cameron Johnson (quadriceps) is also unavailable, so Torrey Craig and Landry Shamet should continue to see additional run.
