  • Suns’ Nassir Little: Gets garbage-time minutes in return Rotowire   Little (knee) tallied three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT) and one turnover across four minutes in Thursday’s 127-109 win over the Lakers.In his return from a seven-game absence due to left knee soreness, Little wasn’t a part of the Phoenix rotation. He didn’t check into the contest until the 4:27 mark in the fourth quarter, when the Suns held a 24-point lead. At least for the time being, the Suns appear content to prioritize Josh Okogie and Bol Bol over Little for the backup forward spots behind Kevin Durant and Grayson Allen.
  • Suns’ Kevin Durant: Busy night on defense Rotowire  Durant had 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Thursday’s 127-109 victory over the Lakers.The veteran forward took a back seat to Bradley Beal (37 points and eight made threes) and Devin Booker (31 points) on the offensive end, but Durant compensated by tying his season high in steals. After missing the first three games of January with a hamstring injury, Durant has averaged 23.7 points, 7.3 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in three games since returning to the lineup.
  • Suns’ Devin Booker: Hangs 31 points on Lakers Rotowire  Booker finished Thursday’s 127-109 win over the Lakers with 31 points (11-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals in 34 minutes.The 27-year-old guard has been on fire since the beginning of December. Booker has scored at least 20 points in 18 of his last 19 games, averaging 25.8 points, 7.3 assists, 4.5 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch. With Kevin Durant also in top form and Bradley Beal healthy, the Suns could be gearing up to go on a run.
