Booker accumulated 49 points (13-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 20-21 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 45 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Minnesota swept the Suns on Sunday, but Booker did everything he could to keep Phoenix in contention during a back-and-forth matchup, logging his fourth-highest scoring total of the season while contributing on both ends of the court. Booker remained dominant during his age-27 season, averaging 27.1 points, 6.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game. Booker should continue to play a prominent role for Phoenix during the 2024-25 season, his 10th year with the team.

Suns' Devin Booker: Delivers eight dimes in Game 3 loss
Rotowire
Booker accumulated 23 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Friday's 126-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Booker finished just two assists away from recording a double-double in Game 3, and the star guard will need to be at his best Sunday if the Suns want to avoid getting swept in the first round. Booker's scoring numbers have increased with each passing game in the series, though this was the first time he surpassed the 20-point plateau.
Suns' Devin Booker: Perfect from line to boost offense
Rotowire
Booker finished Saturday's 120-95 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 18 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
Booker shot a perfect mark from the free-throw line and ended second on the team in scoring to go along with a handful of assists. Booker entered the postseason with three straight games of 20 or more points, adding five or more assists in two of those outings. He has gotten to the line often for Phoenix as of late, ending the regular season with five or more made free throws in 11 straight contests. However, the Suns need more overall offensive production from Booker moving forward.
Booker provided 23 points (6-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 victory over the Timberwolves.
The 27-year-old guard scored more than 20 points for the third straight game to close out the regular season, and the sixth time in eight April contests. Booker has averaged 27.9 points, 7.4 assists, 3.0 threes, 2.8 boards and 1.1 steals over that eight-game stretch, a surge that helped the Suns climb out of the Play-In Tournament and secure a playoff spot.

Rotowire
Booker recorded 37 points (13-24 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 124-108 win over the Clippers.
Booker led all Suns players in threes made and scoring to go along with a quartet of assists while finishing perfect from the free-throw line in a high-scoring victory. Booker has scored 35 or more points in 13 games this season, surpassing the 30-point mark in five of his last 10 outings. He has connected on at least five threes in three of his last six contests.

Suns' Devin Booker: Suffers ice-cold slump in loss
Rotowire
Booker finished Tuesday's 105-92 loss to the Clippers with 12 points (1-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 40 minutes.
Booker shot a ghastly 9.1 percent from the floor in the loss, marking one of his worst performances of the season. We've seen cracks in Booker's armor several times over the past month, as his shot has been conspicuously off without much cause. His shot volume has also fluctuated quite a bit, and he's dipped below his seasonal average of 19.3 attempts per game in six of his last 10 contests.
Suns' Devin Booker: Goes cold from three-point range
Rotowire
Booker posted 25 points (9-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 loss to New Orleans.
Booker ended with a decent overall stat line and finished just three assists away from recording what would've been his second consecutive double-double. However, he missed all six of his three-point attempts, making it just the second time this season he doesn't hit at least one three when attempting five or more.

Suns' Devin Booker: Drops 13 dimes in victory
Rotowire
Booker racked up 13 points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, 13 assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 97-87 victory over the Timberwolves.
Booker's shooting stroke was off track for most of the game, but he was effective as a ball distributor and got the ball to Jusuf Nurkic and Kevin Durant when it counted. Booker's five points in the first quarter were a critical part of Phoenix's 15-0 start, but he sat for the final four minutes of the game, thus limiting his potential output.
Booker notched 40 points (13-25 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 win over the Cavaliers.
Booker followed up his 52-point tour de force against the Pelicans with another excellent total. Wednesday marked just the second time that Booker and Kevin Durant have scored over 30 points together this season, which is an excellent example of the duo's untapped potential. Booker is getting hot at the right time, and the Suns have a good chance of staying out of the Play-In Tournament if he can keep the production going.
