After striking for 41 points Wednesday against the Bulls, Booker let Kevin Durant carry the scoring load Friday but still supplied his 12th double-double of the season -- one short of his career high -- and third in the last five games. Booker is averaging 25.2 points, 9.4 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.8 threes over that stretch while shooting 40.0 percent (14-for-35) from beyond the arc.

Suns' Devin Booker: Shines with 41 points in win
Rotowire
Booker chipped in 41 points (14-26 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-121 victory over the Bulls.
Booker scored 20 of his 41 points in the fourth quarter, effectively negating a late rally from the Bulls. The much-needed win put the Suns back in 10th place in the West, increasing their odds to make the postseason. Sustained production from Booker and Kevin Durant is necessary to keep them there, and Booker will need more nights like Wednesday to maximize Phoenix's chances. The standout guard has regressed on occasion recently, with two 19-point games that fell well below his usual results. He's scored above 30 points only twice during the month of March.

Suns' Devin Booker: Outstanding line not enough Monday
Rotowire

Booker finished second in scoring for the Suns and posted a loaded line in other categories. However, his efforts weren't enough and Phoenix continued its trend of alternating wins and losses since the end of the All-Star break, although overall the team continues to trend in the wrong direction. Booker has been consistent over that stretch, though. He's averaging 25.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game in 11 outings since the end of the break, with the Suns going 4-7 in that span.

Rotowire
Booker closed Sunday's 116-98 loss to Minnesota with 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes.
Booker was held to 17 points for the second consecutive game as the Suns picked up their fourth loss in their last five games. This could just be a small bump in the road for Booker, as he remains on pace for a second-round finish in nine-category formats with 26.0 points, 6.9 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2.7 three-pointers.

Booker posted 29 points in the win over the Bulls in the first leg of this back-to-back set Saturday, and he followed it up with an even better showing in this loss to Toronto.

He's scored at least 24 points in four of his last six outings, a span in which he's averaging 27.5 points, 7.8 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the floor in that span.

Suns' Devin Booker: Near double-double Saturday
Rotowire
Booker registered 29 points (10-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 win over the Bulls.
Booker finished Saturday's game as the Suns' leader in scoring and assists and connected on four triples for the seventh time this season.

Saturday was the first time since Jan. 4 that Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal were all in the starting lineup together, and Sunday's game against Toronto will provide more clarity about whether that change may be permanent.

Suns' Devin Booker: Hits for 17 in return
Rotowire
Booker (back) finished Thursday's 120-109 loss to San Antonio with 17 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal across 41 minutes.
After sitting out the final game before the All-Star break due to a sore back, Booker led the Suns in minutes Thursday, although his actual production was lackluster by his standards. The 28-year-old guard has failed to reach 20 points in three of his last five appearances despite seeing a massive workload, averaging 24.8 points, 6.8 assists, 3.8 boards and 1.6 threes in 39.0 minutes per contest while shooting a disappointing 25.8 percent (8-for-31) from long range.

Rotowire

Suns' Devin Booker: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Booker will not play Wednesday against Houston with a lower back contusion.
Booker played 40 minutes Tuesday against Memphis, finishing with 17 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and nine assists. The Suns are likely holding him out for maintenance on the second leg of this back-to-back set, and he'll get some time to recover during the All-Star break. With Grayson Allen (knee) and Bradley Beal (toe) out, the Suns could use a committee approach to soak up his minutes with TyTy Washington and Ryan Dunn possibly benefitting.

Suns' Devin Booker: Flirts with double-double in loss
Rotowire
Booker ended with 17 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and nine assists across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 loss to Memphis.
One more dime would have done the trick for Booker, who has struggled to string together double-double results this season. Booker experienced an expected regression after seeing an expanded role during Kevin Durant's three-game absence. The All-Star balled out with a 47/11 performance during Durant's first missed game, showcasing his ability to blow up on any given evening if the game flows in his direction.

Suns' Devin Booker: Leading scorer in loss
Rotowire
Booker produced 24 points (8-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 loss to Denver.
With Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (toe) both sidelined Saturday, Booker led the Suns in scoring but had trouble getting his shot off against extra defensive attention. The 28-year-old guard has topped 20 points in seven of the last eight games, averaging 30.8 points, 6.6 assists, 4.8 boards and 2.9 threes over that stretch, and his usage should remain elevated until his star teammates get healthy.

Suns' Devin Booker: Hits for 34 points in loss
Rotowire
Booker provided 34 points (9-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 13-14 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 47 minutes during Monday's 121-119 overtime loss to Portland.
Even Booker's superlative line couldn't overcome the red-hot Trail Blazers, who took another one from the Suns in dramatic fashion. The drama should continue into Thursday, as Booker may find some new faces around him before the trade deadline if the Suns can make a deal for Jimmy Butler. Booker's job is safe, but the lineup should see some changes by the end of the day.

Suns' Devin Booker: Drops 37 points in defeat
Rotowire
Booker finished with 37 points (11-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 13-14 FT), five assists and four rebounds in 35 minutes during Saturday's 127-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Booker finished with a game-high mark in points while logging his 16th outing of the season with 30-plus points, albeit in a losing effort. The star shooting guard delivered an efficient performance from the field, and he was effective at the charity stripe while shooting double-digit free-throw attempts for the third time across his last 10 appearances. In that 10-game span, Booker has averaged 29.4 points, 6.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 37.5 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Booker provided 28 points (11-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and eight assists in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 121-113 loss to the Timberwolves.
Booker is averaging a career-high 37.0 minutes per contest this season. That trend continued Wednesday as the star guard tallied his fifth contest of the campaign with at least 40 minutes played. However, this increased playing time has coincided with a decrease in efficiency, as Booker is shooting just 44.4 percent from the field and 34.0 percent from three in 2024-25 compared to 49.2 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from three last year.

Suns' Devin Booker: Dominates Brooklyn with 32 points
Rotowire
Booker provided a game-high 32 points (14-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 108-84 victory over Brooklyn.
While most of the spotlight may have been on Kevin Durant in his return to Brooklyn on Wednesday, it was Booker who stole the show with the sixth 30-point effort in his last seven appearances for the Suns. During this span, Booker has averaged 31.1 points, 5.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 steals, and 3.7 three-pointers while shooting 42.6 percent from downtown. The superstar swingman has seized the mantle of Phoenix's top scoring option since Bradley Beal (illness) moved to the bench, and Booker should continue handling additional playmaking duties while the latter rides with the second unit.
