Deandre Ayton Draws Questionable Designation Monday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been bumped up to questionable to play in Monday's game vs. the Lakers due to a sprained left ankle that has forced him to miss the team's two most recent outings.

Devin Booker Unavailable For Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar guard is coming off a 58-point performance on Saturday. The Suns are on the front end of a back-to-back set, so they've decided to give Booker the night off. Landry Shamet should enter the starting […]

Devin Booker Ends Slump With A 58-Point Effort

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker scored at will in Saturday's clash with New Orleans, netting a season-high 58 points in a 118-114 win. He became the first Suns player ever to reach 50 points on five occasions, shooting 21-for-35 from the field and 6-for-12 from downtown. This could've easily been even a 60-point performance for […]

Deandre Ayton Won't Suit Up On Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/15/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We have four games for our Thursday slate this week, which is kind of nice. When you look at the injuries and the Heat and Clippers on a back-to-back, it becomes somewhat less enticing. Kawhi will probably sit or at least be limited. I'm going to write this with the assumption that he is out. […]

Deandre Ayton Officially Questionable Against Clippers

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as questionable to play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Biyombo is more […]

Cameron Payne Ruled Out Thursday

Phoenix Suns point guard Cameron Payne (ankle) will sit Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Payne twisted his ankle in their last game on Tuesday and will likely need a few days to heal.

Devin Booker "Hopes" To Play On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is "hopeful" to play on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Clippers after missing his previous two games because of hamstring tightness.

Devin Booker Able To Shoot During Wednesday’s Practice

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) got shots up at Wednesday's practice, a step in the right direction after a two-game absence due to a left hamstring ailment.

Deandre Ayton, Cameron Payne Miss Wednesday’s Practice

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and point guard Cameron Payne (foot) were both unable to suit up for Wednesday's practice session after having exited Tuesday's contest against Houston early. With Devin Booker (hamstring) already sidelined, Phoenix is facing widespread absences from key contributors ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Clippers. Ayton has produced his […]

Cameron Payne Injured In Loss To Houston

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (foot) exited Tuesday's loss to Houston with a right foot injury. He didn't return. While Chris Paul was sidelined with a heel issue, Payne took over and averaged 15.1 points and 7.3 assists while shooting 39.5% from deep in 14 starts. Although Paul has since returned, Payne still plays a […]

Deandre Ayton Injured In Matchup With Rockets

Devin Booker Questionable For Rematch With Pelicans

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's rematch with the Pelicans. It appears there's a good chance the 26-year-old won't play in this one because of left hamstring tightness, which wouldn't help the Suns avenge Friday night's loss to New Orleans. That said, someone will have to fill the void […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/9/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Ruling Alperen Sengun’s poster over Zach Collins a charge is a tragedy. A dunk of the year candidate ruined by opinion. It’s a good call in the sense of Zach Collins went vertical, but outside of technicalities, there’s nothing about that play that signifies charge other than just that, a technicality. Technically, because Collins went […]
