Devin Booker - Leads PHX to victory Sunday Booker racked up 34 points (14-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 39 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Booker reached the 30-point mark for the third time over his last six appearances, and the star guard continues to play at a high level despite the fact he's adjusted to sharing the ball with Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, two other players who need the ball in their hands to be effective. Booker has been operating as a point guard of late, resulting in an uptick in his assists. He's averaging 25.0 points, 6.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game over his last 10 contests.

Grayson Allen - Shines offensively in win Allen finished Sunday's 127-116 win over Portland with 20 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 33 minutes.
Impact Allen can get hot on any given game due to his impressive shooting ability, but he took that a bit further Sunday and finished as one of the Suns' best scoring threats in an offense that also features Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Allen has been playing well of late and is averaging 14.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game over his last 10 contests.
JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Scores 21 points Sunday Durant provided 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Durant has failed to reach the 25-point mark in three of his last four outings since returning from a hamstring problem that sidelined him from three games, so there's a chance he's still not at his 100 percent. Durant will try to bounce back and get back to his regular scoring figures against the Kings on Tuesday.

Bol Bol - Out with sore foot Bol is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right foot soreness.
Impact Bol's professional career got off to a slow start in part to foot issues, so his listing on the injury report is somewhat disconcerting. For now, the Suns haven't indicated that Bol's sore foot is anything more than a day-to-day concern, so he could have a chance at returning to action in Phoenix's next game Tuesday against the Kings. After recently missing a pair of games due to an ankle concern, Bol returned to action in Thursday's 127-109 win over the Lakers, finishing with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 17 minutes.

Drew Eubanks - Removed from injury report Eubanks (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Eubanks no longer appears on the injury report after missing Thursday's game against the Lakers. Eubanks has averages of 4.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 12.2 minutes across five January appearances.

Nassir Little - Gets garbage-time minutes in return Little (knee) tallied three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT) and one turnover across four minutes in Thursday's 127-109 win over the Lakers.
Impact In his return from a seven-game absence due to left knee soreness, Little wasn't a part of the Phoenix rotation. He didn't check into the contest until the 4:27 mark for the fourth quarter, when the Suns held a 24-point lead. At least for the time being, the Suns appear content to prioritize Josh Okogie and Bol Bol over Little for the backup forward spots behind Kevin Durant and Grayson Allen.

Kevin Durant - Busy night on defense Durant had 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 127-109 victory over the Lakers.
Impact The veteran forward took a back seat to Bradley Beal (37 points and eight made threes) and Devin Booker (31 points) on the offensive end, but Durant compensated by tying his season high in steals. After missing the first three games of January with a hamstring injury, Durant has averaged 23.7 points, 7.3 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in three games since returning to the lineup.

Devin Booker - Hangs 31 points on Lakers Booker finished Thursday's 127-109 win over the Lakers with 31 points (11-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals in 34 minutes.
Impact The 27-year-old guard has been on fire since the beginning of December. Booker has scored at least 20 points in 18 of his last 19 games, averaging 25.8 points, 7.3 assists, 4.5 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch. With Kevin Durant also in top form and Bradley Beal healthy, the Suns could be gearing up to go on a run.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Pours in eight treys against Lakers Beal amassed a game-high 37 points (14-21 FG, 8-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 127-109 win over the Lakers.
Impact The 37 points and eight made threes were also a season high for Beal, who has had trouble staying healthy to begin his tenure in Phoenix. The 30-year-old guard appears to be rounding into form though -- he's scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 22.3 points, 4.7 boards, 3.9 assists, 1.7 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 53.9 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent (12-for-30) from beyond the arc.
