Devin Booker Finishes The Month With Nine Straight 20-Point Outings
Devin Booker scored 20 points on 6-for-15 from the field, 2-for-5 from beyond the arc, and 6-for-6 from the free throw line in Monday's loss to the Warriors. The 22-year-old added six assists, two rebounds, and one steal, along with five turnovers. He has now scored at least 20 points in nine straight games and doled out six or more assists in eight of those contests. However, turnovers have been a problem as he averaged 3.3 in December as he committed four or more on five occasions. The fourth-year pro has been pretty good since returning from injury in the middle of the month, compiling 26.5 points, 7.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 triples, and 1.1 steals in nine games. Booker had a tremendous game the last time the Suns faced the 76ers, who they face in Phoenix on Wednesday, as he exploded for 37 points to go along with eight assists and three rebounds.

Suns Not Looking To Trade Devin Booker This Offseason
Devin Booker has been with the team since they made him the 13th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Despite the rough season with three max-contract players, Booker seems to be cemented in the team's plans moving forward. Even in a down year, the 28-year-old is averaging 25.9 points, 6.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 2.7 threes per game. Owner Matt Ishbia made it clear that Booker is not on the trade block, even though the Suns are expected to make a major shakeup this offseason. Co-stars Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal have already had their names thrown into the rumor mill, and it seems like their moves away from Phoenix are all but inevitable. Ishbia is not a fan of rebuilds, so there could be a brand new supporting cast around Booker with other veterans if he gets his wish.

Devin Booker Will Play On Thursday
Devin Booker (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard missed the final game before the All-Star break due to a back issue. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about it as the Suns likely rested him knowing it was the last game before the break. Booker appears to be fine now and ready to resume his role in the starting five. Booker has been excellent this season and is a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Devin Booker Ruled Out For Wednesday
Devin Booker (back) will come out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. He hurt his back in Tuesday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies as Phoenix kicked off a back-to-back. With Bradley Beal (toe) also out, Kevin Durant will be the last man standing among the Suns' Big Three. He netted a game-high 34 points in Tuesday's loss against Memphis to become the eighth player in NBA history with 30,000 career points. Given Phoenix's injury situation, Tyus Jones and Ryan Dunn should take on additional offensive duties in Wednesday's game.

Devin Booker Will Play Tuesday
Devin Booker (groin) was listed as questionable for the team's Tuesday night home game against Memphis, but he was upgraded to available 30 minutes before tip-off. Booker has missed the last five games with a groin injury but will start for Phoenix in the team's final game of 2024. In his 26 games this season, Booker has averaged 25.1 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. He could only be available for limited minutes, but his return means he can be started in all fantasy formats. While Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal get a slight downgrade for DFS contests, Booker's return is great news for the Suns.
