Suns’ Jalen Green: Won’t play Tuesday
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Heat.
Green hasn’t played since Nov. 8 due to a right hamstring strain and remains without a concrete timetable for a return. While the 23-year-old shooting guard is expected to be re-evaluated soon, he should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Suns offer an update on his progress.

Suns’ Royce O’Neale: Having best scoring season
O’Neale accumulated 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Sunday’s 112-93 victory over Washington.
At 32 years old, in his ninth season, O’Neale is having his best year scoring the ball. He’s averaging 10.5 points per game after never having averaged double-digit points in his career. He’s converting nearly three triples per game and is a fixture in Phoenix’s starting lineup. O’Neale can provide consistent three-point shooting and steals for fantasy managers.

Suns’ Devin Booker: Overcomes poor shooting night
Booker closed with 17 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and eight assists over 26 minutes during Sunday’s 112-93 win over the Wizards.
Booker has played in 36 of Phoenix’s 39 games this year, and he’s failed to reach 20 points only nine times. Occasionally the 10th-year Kentucky product has a low-scoring night, but they’re few and far between. Booker’s assist production remained steady as his team cruised to a 19-point victory over Washington. He’s also averaging a career-best 8.1 free throw attempts per game this year, so even on poor shooting nights Booker can find a way to be productive.
