Dario Saric - Produces across board as starterSaric finished with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and five assists across 23 minutes in Monday's 136-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
ImpactThough he was a minus-17 during his time on the court, Saric contributed a decent stat line in the blowout loss. While starting in each of his last six appearances, Saric has posted averages of 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 23.7 minutes per game while shooting 52.3 percent from the floor, numbers that give him a degree of utility in 14-team leagues or deeper. However, Saric is a prime candidate to lose out on playing time as soon as the Suns get one or two of their injured rotation players back in the fold -- Cameron Johnson (knee) and Chris Paul (hip) appear to be the closest to returning.

Jaren Jackson Jr. - Swats six shots MondayJackson notched 18 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, six blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 136-106 victory over Phoenix.
ImpactJackson is one of the best defensive big men in the league and showed it once again here. He's on a run of 14 straight games with two or more blocks, but he's also averaging 16.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in that span.

Desmond Bane - Nearly perfect from field MondayBane accumulated 28 points (10-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, three rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 136-106 win over the Suns.
ImpactBane fell one point shy of matching backcourt mate Ja Morant for the team lead in scoring, but the former player was far more efficient with his shooting. The third-year wing out of TCU has been dialed in thus far in January, averaging 21.5 points and 3.5 triples per game while shooting 51.6 percent from the field across six appearances.

Ja Morant - Goes for 29 with seven dimesMorant posted 29 points (11-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 136-106 victory over the Suns.
ImpactThe star point guard has scored at least 23 points in seven games in a row and has dished out at least five assists in all but one of those contests. Morant is putting up elite numbers once again and has delivered career-best numbers in both points (27.5) and assists (7.9).
