PHX • Shooting Guard and Point Guard • #1

It didn’t take Booker long to get into a groove after enduring a period in which he missed 12 of 15 games due to injury. After scoring 17 points in his first game back, the Suns guard has scored 27 or more in four straight. His line against the Bucks included solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Booker has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats over the past week, according to Basketball Monster.

Booker’s ability to get to the foul line paid dividends on Sunday, as the Suns guard made all 15 of his attempts. Add in the assists, and Booker finished with his second 30-point, 10-assist game of the season. Since the All-Star break, he’s shot 40 percent from the field, which has lowered Booker’s fantasy value in the short term. Clean up that category, and Booker is well-equipped to approach the heights that many fantasy managers thought he would before the season began.

Booker has now scored 17, 27 and 32 points in three games since returning from a hip injury. The 29-year-old shooting guard’s 32 points were a game-high and he was +3 in 35 minutes in the close win. The Suns close out Week 19 against the Hornets on Sunday.

Booker struggled in his return to the lineup on Tuesday, and while he still was inefficient in this game, he was more effective. He led the Suns in scoring in what was his highest-scoring outing since January. It has been a disappointing season overall for Booker, but Phoenix has still had success as a team. Booker has a chance to get back on track as a scorer to close out this season, which would bode well for both the Suns and fantasy managers.

Back in the Suns’ lineup after a four-game absence, Booker was under a minutes limit on Tuesday. Averaging 33.3 minutes per game on the season, he logged 31 against the Kings. While Booker didn’t shoot the ball well from inside the arc, making only two of his 10 attempts, his rebounds, assists, and three-pointers were solid. He also made some history, joining Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard as the only players in league history to accumulate at least 17,000 points and 1,500 three-pointers in 720 games or fewer. Ryan Dunn, who was bumped from the starting lineup to make room for Booker, played 17 minutes, finishing with two points and one rebound. Phoenix’s final three games of Week 19 include a back-to-back, so Booker could be limited to two appearances.

Booker is back in the lineup after missing four games with a hip injury. His return means that Ryan Dunn will head to the bench, but that change does not significantly affect fantasy basketball due to Dunn’s limited streaming value.

Booker is back after a four-game absence, having been sidelined due to a hip injury. The star guard’s return will likely push Grayson Allen to the bench, but Allen’s fantasy value should not take too big a hit with Dillon Brooks (hand) still out.

The timeline means Booker will likely be back against the Kings on Tuesday or the Bulls on Thursday. With Dillon Brooks sidelined, Phoenix needs help on offense, and Booker’s return should help tremendously in that department. Booker’s return could mean fewer minutes for the likes of Collin Gillespie and Jamaree Bouyea.

Booker sustained a right hip strain during Thursday’s loss to the Spurs and will miss one week, at which point he’ll be re-evaluated. With Booker sidelined, Jordan Goodwin could move into the starting lineup.

Booker suffered a right hip strain during Thursday’s loss to the Spurs and did not return. His absence for Saturday’s game opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Jordan Goodwin started the second half of Thursday’s defeat and may be the first choice to move into the starting five.

Booker had gone back to the locker room during the second quarter of the Suns-Spurs matchup on Thursday before eventually being ruled out at the start of the third quarter with hip soreness. He was replaced in the lineup to begin the second half by Jordan Goodwin, who is a candidate to take over that starting role should Booker miss any time going forward.

Booker, who missed Phoenix’s final game before the All-Star break, was a full go in Sunday’s All-Star Game. The question is whether he’ll exceed the 32 minutes played in his first two games back from a sprained ankle.

Booker is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder for right ankle injury management reasons. If Booker is ultimately ruled out, more of the offense would go through Dillon Brooks and Collin Gillespie.

Booker has played 32 minutes in the two games he’s appeared in since returning from a sprained ankle. While the points output on Tuesday was modest, fantasy managers can still use rebounds, assists, steals, and three-pointers. This is the first back-to-back for Booker since his injury, so fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder. That also goes for Jalen Green (12/1/4 with two three-pointers), who played 20 minutes off the bench on Tuesday.

Booker hadn’t played since spraining his ankle in a January 23 loss to the Hawks. The 29-year-old managed to scored 21 points, but parts of his game were understandably rusty. Booker was 1-of-7 from behind the three-point line, but was otherwise 4-of-5 from the field. Dillon Brooks led the team in field goal attempts with 23, but expect Booker to be more aggressive as he gets re-acclimated to playing again.

Booker is back after spraining his ankle in a January loss to the Hawks. With Grayson Allen (ankle) going down with an injury in Thursday’s loss to the Warriors, the Suns can make a one-for-one swap without changing the rest of their starting lineup against the 76ers on Saturday.

This is the first time that Booker has been listed as questionable ahead of a game since spraining his ankle during a January 23 loss to the Hawks. With Grayson Allen (ankle) going down during Thursday’s loss to the Warriors, the Suns won’t have to make any drastic changes to their lineup if Booker can play.

Based on the timeline provided when Booker suffered his sprained ankle, he was due to be re-evaluated early this week. However, the Suns have not offered an update, and the guard remains out. Phoenix will continue to roll with a starting backcourt of Collin Gillespie and Grayson Allen, and both players are worth rostering where available.

Booker sprained his right ankle during the third quarter of Friday’s loss to the Hawks. Starting with Sunday’s game against the Heat, he’ll miss at least four games before being re-evaluated. Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin will take on added importance for the Suns while they await Booker’s return.

Booker sprained his right ankle during Friday’s loss to the Hawks and was seen using crutches following the game. With Jalen Green (hamstring) questionable, the Suns will need to rely more on Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin for production, whether they start or come off the bench.

Booker was in the midst of a big night before injuring his ankle, which forced him to exit early and not return. He was seen using crutches after the game to avoid putting pressure on it. The team should provide an update in the coming days, but with Jalen Green (hamstring) also exiting early, Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin should see a bump in minutes and production. Hopefully this isn’t a long-term absence for Booker.

While the efficiency was lacking, Booker received plenty of help from the Suns’ reserves as Phoenix moved to 3-2 on its current six-game road trip. In addition to the low field-goal percentage, Booker was responsible for six of the Suns’ 22 turnovers. He’s had better nights, but the star guard still offered solid value in points and assists.

Booker has scored at least 22 points in each of his last three appearances. However, he’s shot just 41.1 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which is why the Suns’ guard has not been a top-100 player during this stretch. Booker doesn’t bring much to the table in the defensive stats, and the assist production has not been what many hoped it would be before the season began. While the season-long value has been good, some fantasy managers may be disappointed that Booker has “only” been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats.

Monday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Suns, who visit the 76ers on Tuesday. Given the gulf in competition, fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility that Booker sits out Monday’s game. Grayson Allen scored 33 points as Booker’s replacement in the starting lineup in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons.

Booker didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but his ability to get to the foul line boosted the final points tally. He’s been in a bit of a slump recently, shooting 40 percent from the field over the past two weeks. During that period, Booker has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats. The Suns open a four-game Week 14 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday against the Nets and 76ers.

Booekr is back in the fold after a one-game absence. Grayson Allen was excellent in his absence, scoring 33 points in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons. Allen will likely head to the bench, but he’ll still play plenty as part of the second unit.

Booker missed Thursday’s game against the Pistons and is in danger of missing another. Grayson Allen filled that spot and went for 33 points and seven triples. He should be in for another big night if Booker remains out, though he’ll still retain value in a reserve role.

Booker hurt his ankle in the first half against the Heat on Tuesday, but was able to return to the game and play 40 minutes. However, it appears that his ankle injury either tightened up or swelled up on him after the game. As of now, we shouldn’t expect this to sideline Booker for a long period of time. The Suns will hope that Dillon Brooks (illness) can play on Thursday, but Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin should see more minutes tonight.

Due to a sprained left ankle, Booker is considered questionable for Phoenix’s next game. Grayson Allen is the player whose fantasy value would benefit the most if Booker can’t play, as this would likely move him into the starting lineup.
