Suns' Devin Booker: Rallies for 40 points

Suns' Devin Booker: Puts up 33 points Monday
Devin Booker posted 33 points (11-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 109-105 victory over the Lakers.Booker was coming off his worst shooting performance of the season Saturday in the win over the Mavericks. However, the star guard bounced back admirably here and responded with his best scoring output of the campaign. Booker has struggled with consistency, but he's reached the 20-point mark in his last three outings. An uptick in efficiency would boost his fantasy value even more, though it's already quite high as one of the Phoenix Suns' top-scoring options.

Suns' Devin Booker: Poor shooting display Saturday
Devin Booker supplied 21 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 11-12 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 win over Dallas.Booker ended with a decent stat line all things considered, but the shooting woes can't be overlooked. The star guard gained nearly half of his points from the charity stripe, but that approach isn't sustainable on a long-term basis. Booker has scored over 20 points in his last two contests, and there's a strong chance this was nothing more than an off night for one of the most talented pure scorers in The Association. Booker will try to bounce back against the Lakers on Monday.

Suns' Devin Booker: Pops for 23 against Lakers
Devin Booker closed with 23 points (9-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 123-116 loss to the Lakers.He led the Phoenix Suns in three-pointers on the night as the team shot 45.9 percent (17-for-37) from beyond the arc. Booker has been locked in from long distance to begin the campaign, draining eight of 15 three-point attempts through the first two games, but that's unlikely to last -- the 27-year-old guard has never shot better than 38.3 percent from three-point range over a full season.

Suns' Devin Booker: Efficient in win
Devin Booker contributed 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 116-113 overtime win over the Clippers.Even with the addition of a "true point guard" in Tyus Jones, Booker was still able to rack up six assists during Wednesday's victory. While Booker is still an elite volume scorer, he likely won't be relied on to go for nearly 30 points a night when Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal are both healthy.
