Cameron Johnson - Out Sunday Johnson (quadriceps) is out Sunday against the Lakers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Johnson will be out for a fifth straight game due to a bruised right quad. Landry Shamet and Jae Crowder should continue seeing a bump in usage.

Jae Crowder - Delivers diverse stat line Crowder finished with 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 24 minutes Friday in the Suns' 117-112 loss to the Raptors.
Impact After going 8-for-31 (25.8 percent) from the field over the past two contests, Crowder curbed his inefficiency for at least one game. As a player who's heavily reliant on outside shooting from most of his scoring, Crowder's offense may have some volatility from game to game, but he's at least in the midst of one of his good runs of production of late. Thanks largely to the Suns missing multiple keys players since the All-Star break, Crowder has seen an uptick in volume across the board. Through the first nine contests of the second half, he's averaging 13.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.9 steals in 29.7 minutes per game. All of those marks are above his season-long averages.

Devin Booker - Scores 22 with seven dimes Booker totaled 22 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 117-112 loss to Toronto.
Impact It wasn't a spectacular night for Booker, but he did just enough to team with Cameron Payne (24 points) and lead the Suns to yet another victory. In Booker's five games since Chris Paul (thumb) went down, he's up to 26.0 points, 8.0 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.0 block while shooting 50.0 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from deep (2.8 3PM/G).

Cameron Payne - Another big game as Suns win Payne logged 24 points (9-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 117-112 loss to the Raptors.
Impact Even with Devin Booker back in the lineup, Payne has been able to remain plenty productive, as he's now racked up 35 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, three steals and a block -- to go with six three-pointers -- over the Suns' last two contests. Payne's return from a wrist injury couldn't have come at a better time with the Suns in need of playmaking while Chris Paul recovers from a thumb injury. Payne should continue to start alongside Booker the rest of the way, but after Friday the Suns have only 15 regular-season games remaining.

Cameron Johnson - Still out Friday Johnson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact It will be the fourth consecutive absence for Johnson due to a bruised right quadriceps, and his next chance to take the court will come Sunday versus the Lakers. Landry Shamet and Torrey Craig should continue to see increased run in Johnson's absence.

Cameron Payne - Shoots poorly, but nabs double-double Payne registered 11 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), 10 assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block across 31 minutes Wednesday in the Suns' 111-90 win over the Heat.
Impact With Devin Booker (COVID-19 protocols) back in action following a four-game absence, Payne saw a slight downturn in usage, with his 22.4 rate for the night trailing his 23.7, 28.1 and 32.3 percent rates from each of the previous three contests. Payne also appeared to sprain his ankle during the contest, but he was able to re-enter the contest shortly after heading to the bench and still managed to come away with his third double-double in four games. Even though Booker is back in action, the absence of Chris Paul (thumb) for most of what remains of the regular season should keep Payne on track to handle a fantasy-friendly role for at least a few more weeks. He's worth holding in nearly every league.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
JaVale McGee - Owns the glass McGee finished with 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 111-90 victory over the Heat.
Impact McGee supplied a monster double-double -- featuring seven offensive rebounds -- across just 16 minutes Wednesday. He had more offensive rebounds than Miami as a team. Outworking and physically besting the Miami frontcourt, no Heat player secured more than six rebounds. McGee is a quality back-up big and an admirable Deandre Ayton insurance policy.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Remains involved Shamet logged eight points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 111-90 win over Miami.
Impact Devin Booker (COVID-19 protocols) returned to action Wednesday, resulting in Shamet's demotion to the bench. However, Shamet led the second unit in minutes played and threes made. Although he didn't capitalize on his offensive usage, he still logged a plus-20 in the box score. Shamet can be a deep-league asset should Cameron Payne or Aaron Holiday become unavailable.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mikal Bridges - Strong showing in win Bridges posted 21 points (9-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 111-90 victory over Miami.
Impact Bridges had recorded just nine rebounds collectively over four games prior to Wednesday, so seeing him contribute on the glass was encouraging. Additionally encouraging, Bridges scored 20-plus points amid the return of Devin Booker (COVID-19 protocols). Bridges possesses a high rest-of-season fantasy floor, with Wednesday symbolizing his typical ceiling.

Devin Booker - Shows no rust in return Booker (COVID-19 protocols) provided 23 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 111-90 win o...
Impact Booker didn't miss a beat in his return to action following a week-long stint in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols that resulted in him missing four games. After previously operating as the Suns' point guard in his first three appearances coming out of the All-Star break following Chris Paul's (thumb) shutdown, Booker shifted back over to shooting guard. Even so, Booker still saw plenty of playmaking opportunities alongside Cameron Payne, who was productive as a distributor in his own right with 10 assists.
