Devin Booker made a turnaround jumper over Paul George as time expired, capping a 35-point performance and giving the Phoenix Suns a 117-115 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers

Comes close to triple-double Rubio racked up 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists in 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Rubio led the Suns in assists while finishing second in both points and rebounds -- it was a complete effort from the Spanish veteran. The Suns might not be able to reach the postseason, but that shouldn't reduce Rubio's upside as a reliable fantasy threat on a nightly basis due to his knack to fill the stat sheet while scoring at a decent rate. He is averaging a career-best 13.2 points per game this season.

Sharp in scrimmage win Rubio compiled 22 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists, four rebounds, four steals and a blocked shot across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 117-106 scrimmage win over the Rapto...

Impact Rubio is one of the best dime-droppers in the business, but he's a notoriously streaky shooter. When he's dialed in like he was on Tuesday, he emerges as a deadly scoring threat. When you couple that production with his assist and steal totals, you've got a rock-solid backcourt option who can often pop above his averages.

Impact Rubio was able to go through his first practice with the team Tuesday, but the coaching staff isn't yet ready to let him play competitive ball. As a result, we should see more minutes handed to Jevon Carter, Ty Jerome and Cameron Payne.
