'Miss him': Devin Booker (ankle) probable for start of Phoenix Suns' 4-game road trip Devin Booker has missed Phoenix's last four games with a right ankle sprain.
Josh Okogie - Won't play Monday Okogie (abdomen) will be inactive for Monday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Okogie will miss his fifth consecutive game due to an abdominal strain. Eric Gordon (knee) is also inactive, so Royce O'Neale should retain a sizable workload even with Devin Booker (ankle) considered probable to return to action Monday.

Eric Gordon - Won't play Monday Gordon (knee) is out for Monday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Gordon suffered a knee contusion in Saturday's loss to Boston, and injury will cost him Monday's contest. He will have multiple days of rest to recover, however, with his next chance to take the court being a rematch against Boston on Thursday.

Devin Booker - Upgraded to probable Booker (ankle) is considered probable for Monday's game against Cleveland, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Booker appears on track to return from a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, which is an excellent development after what appeared to be a serious sprain suffered on March 2. If Booker is able to suit up Monday, he would join a healthy Bradley Beal in action, with Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale likely seeing workload reductions.

Jusuf Nurkic - Records another double-double Nurkic notched 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 117-107 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Nurkic was efficient on both ends of the court, missing just one shot from the field and also grabbing double-digit rebounds for the seventh consecutive outing. Nurkic has four double-doubles over that seven-game stretch, and while his role on offense will diminish once the Suns are at full strength, he's still a threat to record a double-double every time he steps on the court.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Goes for 25 points in loss Beal had 25 points (10-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 117-107 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Beal didn't do much in other categories outside of scoring, but fantasy managers probably wouldn't have an issue if he hovers around the 25-point mark regularly. At this point, though, the biggest win for fantasy managers who have Beal on their rosters is to keep him healthy for the final weeks of the campaign, as injuries have derailed him all season long. Beal has scored in double digits in his last four appearances and seems to be trending in the right direction, averaging 19.8 points per game across five March outings.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Scores season-high 45 points Durant had 45 points (18-26 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 117-107 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Durant delivered one of his best performances of the season Saturday, and aside from recording a season-high scoring mark, he also scored 40 or more points for the fifth time in the current campaign. Durant has been on an absolute tear to start the month, hitting 30 or more points in four of five March outings while reaching the 35-point plateau in the last three.

Eric Gordon - Tweaks knee in loss Gordon tweaked his knee during Saturday's 117-107 loss to Boston, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. He finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assist...
Impact Coach Frank Vogel didn't get into specifics, but he said he pulled Gordon out of the game late because of the knee issue. Until more information is known, Gordon should be considered questionable for Monday's game versus Cleveland. The good news for the Suns is that Devin Booker (ankle) could be back for Monday's game.

Devin Booker - Not playing Saturday Booker (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Booker tested out his sprained right ankle earlier Saturday, but he didn't demonstrate enough progress to get the green light to play and will ultimately miss a fourth straight contest. His continued absence should enable Royce O'Neale to stick in the starting five once again. Booker's next chance to play will come against the Cavaliers on Monday.

Devin Booker - Upgraded to questionable Saturday Booker (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday's tilt with the Celtics, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Head coach Frank Vogel stated earlier in the day that Booker was viewed as doubtful for Saturday's contest, but it looks like Phoenix has a more optimistic perspective on the situation as of now. The star guard has missed the Suns' previous three games due to an ankle injury. More clarity on his status should come after he tests things out prior to tipoff. If he does sit out again, Royce O'Neal will presumably get another start in his place.

Josh Okogie - Out again Saturday Okogie (abdomen) will remain sidelined for Saturday's matchup with the Celtics, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Devin Booker - Unlikely to play Saturday Coach Frank Vogel said Booker (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Celtics, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Booker is expected to miss his fourth straight game Saturday due to a right ankle sprain. However, the star guard appears to be nearing a return to action. Royce O'Neale should continue to start in Booker's potential absence.

Devin Booker - Getting shots up Friday Booker (ankle) is putting up extra shots after Friday's practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Booker has missed Phoenix's last three games with a right ankle sprain. While Booker's ability to get in extra work after practice bodes well for his available Saturday, fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report.

Bol Bol - Makes impact in limited action Bol closed Thursday's 120-113 win over the Raptors with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes.
Impact Bol has played double-digit minutes in six of Phoenix's last seven games, averaging 9.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 17.7 minutes during that stretch. The Suns continue to deal with multiple injuries, allowing Bol to handle a consistent bench role, but his fantasy value remains limited.
