Devin Booker - Double-doubles with six steals Booker racked up 25 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and six steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over the Thunder.
Impact Booker shifted into a primary ball-handling role, walking away with a fantastic two-way performance. In fact, the 12 assists marked a season-high for Booker, while his six steals were a career-high. He has now accumulated 12 steals across his last three games, an aspect of his game that has in the past, been consistently underwhelming. Moving forward, he is going to have the ball in his hands a lot more, allowing his peripheral production to perhaps increase across the board.

Aaron Holiday - Encouraging performance Thursday Holiday recorded 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over the Thunder.
Impact Holiday came off the bench in the victory, delivering a solid, yet unassuming performance. With Chris Paul sidelined due to a thumb injury, Holiday has a nice opportunity to prove what he can do for his new team. The impending return of Cameron Payne could put a pin in Holiday's upside but until that happens, he is at least worth a flier if you are seeking guard numbers.

Cameron Johnson - Goes for 21 points in start Johnson totaled 21 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over Oklahoma City.
Impact Johnson moved into the starting lineup Thursday, justifying the promotion with a well-balanced performance. With Chris Paul set to miss the majority of what remains of the regular season, Johnson should be able to log a few extra minutes on most nights. Whether he remains in the starting lineup remains to be seen but no matter his pregame designation, he is worth adding in most competitive leagues right now.

Landry Shamet - Officially available Thursday Shamet (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Shamet has been sidelined since the start of February due to a sprained right ankle. He's returning just in time, as the Suns lost Chris Paul (thumb) for 6-8 weeks, which could open up some more time for Shamet. In 21 appearances this season that Shamet has seen at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 assists and 2.1 rebounds.

Cameron Payne - Ruled out Thursday Payne (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Payne was expected to return to the court Thursday after missing the Suns' final 13 games ahead of the All-Star break, but he'll be sidelined for at least one more matchup after he acknowledged Tuesday that he's still having "some complications" with his sprained right wrist, per Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com. Once he's able to return to action, the 27-year-old should see an uptick in playing time with top point guard Chris Paul (thumb) on track to miss 6-to-8 weeks. Aaron Holiday, Landry Shamet and Elfrid Payton should see additional run against Oklahoma City with Payne out of the lineup.
