Suns recap and news

O’Neale contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday’s 118-107 loss to the Warriors.

O’Neale has done a fine job filling in for Dillon Brooks (groin) in the starting lineup, averaging 13.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.8 threes made across 34.4 minutes in five starts. Until Brooks returns, O’Neale will in all likelihood remain in the starting lineup.

Allen finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday’s 118-107 loss to the Warriors.

Allen will remain with the first unit until Jalen Green (hamstring) feels well enough to play. Although he’s destined to fall into the second unit, he’s averaged 16.4 points, 5.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals over the first eight games with the starters and will still get his share of minutes.

Williams ended with 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday’s 118-107 loss to the Warriors.

Williams recorded his third double-double of the season during the loss, and enjoyed a season-high 16 rebounds against the Warriors. Although his shooting stroke at the charity line needs some work, he has converted 57.6 percent from the floor over his first seven games of the season.

Booker posted 38 points (13-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 39 minutes in Tuesday’s 118-107 loss to the Warriors.

Booker delivered a game- and season-high 38 points en route to his sixth 30-plus-point performance through eight regular-season games, albeit in a losing effort. Although he struggled from three-point range in the loss, the star guard has still shot 46.2 percent from beyond the arc over his last five appearances. During that span, Booker has attempted at least 23 shots in four contests and should continue to see heavy usage, especially with Jalen Green (hamstring) sidelined.
