Devin Booker - Drops 13 dimes in victory Booker racked up 13 points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, 13 assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 97-87 victory over the Timberwolves.
Impact Booker shooting stroke was off-track for most of the game, but he was effective as a ball distributor and got the ball to Jusuf Nurkic and Kevin Durant when it counted. Booker's five points in the first quarter were a critical part of Phoenix's 15-0 start, but he sat for the final four minutes of the game, thus limiting his potential output.

Jusuf Nurkic - Back in action with double-double Nurkic supplied 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 97-87 victory over Minnesota.
Impact Nurkic returned to the starting lineup to post a solid result after missing Wednesday's game with a calf injury. He faced a stern test. against Rudy Gobert but was very effective in containing him to only four points and six rebounds. Surging play from Bol Bol won't be enough to keep Nurkic from continuing his full-time role, and he's a safe bet to see the most time at the five as the Suns make a final playoff push.

Grayson Allen - Scores team-high 23 points Allen amassed 23 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 97-87 victory over the Timberwolves.
Impact Allen missed Wednesday's game against Cleveland with a hip injury but returned to his usual spot in Phoenix's starting lineup Friday evening. Allen logged three points and four rebounds in a 15-0 run that began the game, putting the Timberwolves into a hole they could not escape. If Allen had any lingering injury effects, it didn't show in the low-scoring win, as he striped four three-pointers in eight attempts and drew enough fouls to put himself at the charity stripe eight times.
