Durant had 21 points (7-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 36 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 victory over the Warriors. Durant had a rough shooting performance and made only 35 percent of his field goals, but that won't matter much as long as he manages to deliver numbers in other categories as well. Durant missed seven straight games between Nov. 10 and Nov. 20 due to a calf injury, and while he's shown some rust in terms of efficiency, he continues to perform at a high level even when his shot isn't falling. In his three games since returning, Durant is averaging 24.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 blocks per contest.

Durant had 21 points (7-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 36 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 victory over the Warriors. Durant had a rough shooting performance and made only 35 percent of his field goals, but that won't matter much as long as he manages to deliver numbers in other categories as well. Durant missed seven straight games between Nov. 10 and Nov. 20 due to a calf injury, and while he's shown some rust in terms of efficiency, he continues to perform at a high level even when his shot isn't falling. In his three games since returning, Durant is averaging 24.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 blocks per contest.
Booker closed Saturday's 113-105 victory over the Warriors with 27 points (8-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 38 minutes. Booker led the Suns in scoring Saturday, ahead of Kevin Durant and Tyus Jones, but seeing him perform at a high level should be the standard now for Booker, who has adjusted well to life by playing in an off-the-ball role with Jones as the point guard. Booker's fantasy numbers haven't suffered this season, and he's scored at least 26 points in each of his last four games, representing his longest streak of the season in terms of scoring prowess.
Jones produced 19 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and nine assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 victory over the Warriors. Jones had an impressive performance Saturday, and he's been playing at a high level of late. The 10-year veteran has scored in double digits in five of his last six appearances while also dishing out nine or more dimes four times in that span. He's exceeded expectations this season, and he's rewarding fantasy managers who trusted in him in standard formats, as he's managed to remain in a starting role while enjoying a decent usage rate considering he often shares the floor with ball-dominant players such as Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal (calf).
Allen is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Allen will get the starting nod in this matchup due to the absence of Bradley Beal (calf). This will be Allen's first start of the campaign. The veteran forward is averaging 10.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in 14 outings off the bench this season.
Plumlee is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Plumlee will move into the starting lineup due to the absence of Jusuf Nurkic (ankle). The veteran big man is averaging 9.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game in his previous three starts this season.
Nurkic (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Nurkic was initially tagged as probable for Saturday's game by head coach Mike Budenholzer after Friday's practice. However, the ankle injury appears serious enough that Nurkic will be sidelined, and his next chance to play will be against the Spurs on Tuesday. Mason Plumlee and Oso Ighodaro will see increased playing time due to Nurkic's injury.
Beal (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. The Suns will be extremely shorthanded for this matchup against the Warriors since they'll miss two starters in Beal and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle). Ryan Dunn could be an option to replace Beal in the starting lineup, whereas Beal's next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Tuesday.
Nurkic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Head coach Mike Budenholzer said after Friday's practice that Nurkic and Bradley Beal (calf) are probable for Saturday's game, though Nurkic is by no means a lock to play. If Nurkic is sidelined, Oso Ighodaro or Mason Plumlee would be the top candidates to enter the Sun's starting lineup.
