Jalen Green

PHX Guard #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jalen Green finished Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Thunder with 17 points (6-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.

Green shot 2-of-7 from beyond the arc in Game 1, with the complete stat line being countered in an inefficient day of shooting the basketball. Like Devin Booker (23/6/2 with two three-pointers), the Suns are going to need a much better showing from Green if they’re to have any chance of making the series competitive, much less harbor ambitions of winning it. Game 2 is scheduled for Wednesday night.
Dillon Brooks

PHX Guard-Forward #3

Dillon Brooks tallied 18 points (6-of-22 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Thunder.

Given what he brings to the table defensively, Brooks earns a certain level of freedom on the offensive end of the floor. However, there’s no reason why he should lead the Suns in shot attempts when Devin Booker and Jalen Green are available. In Game 1, Brooks put up 22 shots, with Booker next in line with 17 attempts and Green finishing with 16. That’s something to keep an eye on moving forward, beginning with Wednesday’s Game 2. If the Thunder defense can funnel things towards Brooks consistently, this series could be a sweep.
Devin Booker

PHX Guard #1

Devin Booker accounted for 23 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Thunder.

Of the three Suns players to score in double figures in Sunday’s blowout defeat, Booker was the only one to get close to shooting 50 percent from the field. Given the matchup, the Suns will need more from their star guard if they’re to have a chance of winning this series. With Phoenix having played on Wednesday and Friday in the Play-In Tournament before Sunday’s afternoon matchup, an extra day off ahead of Game 2 on Wednesday night may do Booker and the Suns some good.
Jordan Goodwin

PHX Guard #23

Jordan Goodwin (calf) will not return to Sunday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.

Goodwin played five first-half minutes before exiting with a sore left calf, and he has now been ruled out for the rest of the game. Royce O’Neale started the third quarter and will take on an important role, especially with Grayson Allen (hamstring) yet to play despite being listed as available.
Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8

Grayson Allen (hamstring) is available for Sunday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.

Allen is back after a three-game absence, giving the Suns additional depth on the perimeter. His minutes are likely to come at the expense of Collin Gillespie and Haywood Highsmith, with the latter being more likely to fall out of the Suns’ rotation entirely.
Mark Williams

PHX Center #15

Mark Williams (foot) is out for Sunday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.

Williams will miss a second consecutive game as he continues to deal with a sore left foot. Oso Ighodaro started Friday’s Play-In victory over the Warriors, logging 26 minutes. He’ll take on a similar role for Game 1, while Khaman Maluach may play more than the five minutes that he did the last time out because of Oklahoma City’s interior depth.
Mark Williams

PHX Center #15

Mark Williams (foot) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.

After logging 22 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, Williams was held out of Friday’s win over the Warriors. Oso Ighodaro played 26 minutes as the starting center, with the Suns going small for extended periods. Given the matchup, there may be more minutes available to Khaman Maluach if Williams remains out.
Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8

Grayson Allen (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.

One week removed from injuring his hamstring during an April 10 loss to the Lakers, Allen did not play in Friday’s win over the Warriors despite being announced as available. Haywood Highsmith played 10 minutes off the bench; he’s likely to be the odd man out if Allen can play on Sunday’s series opener in Oklahoma City.
Jordan Goodwin

PHX Guard #23

Jordan Goodwin tallied 19 points (7-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, six steals and four three-pointers in the win over the Warriors on Friday.

Goodwin was impressive in Friday’s victory on both ends of the floor. On offense, he took advantage of his looks from beyond the arc and made over half of his seven attempts to nearly reach the 20-point mark. He also secured four offensive boards and tallied a couple of assists. But what really stood out on this night was his work on defense, where he changed the game with his outstanding disruptiveness. Goodwin nearly accounted for half of Phoenix’s 14 steals before finishing the game just one rebound shy of a double-double. Goodwin did it all for the Suns on Friday and will have a chance to put up similar production on Sunday against the Thunder.
Devin Booker

PHX Guard #1

Devin Booker added 20 points (5-of-12 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

Booker logged a fairly balanced performance as Phoenix’s lead guard. He shot inefficiently from beyond the arc but repeatedly worked his way to the line to help reach the 20-point mark. Meanwhile, he took on the role of lead playmaker, which nearly led him to a points-assists double-double. The veteran combo guard didn’t deliver any major counting stats. However, he took a very calculated approach, which allowed him to finish with a team-high plus-25 on the evening. He’ll have a chance to log another strong outing on Sunday in Game 1 against the Thunder.
