Rebilas-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>Given Devin Booker is listed as questionable on the injury report, it&#8217;s difficult to gauge if he&#8217;ll play, especially after missing the Suns&#8217; loss to the Pistons. Booker has been a fixture on the injury report this week. Perhaps the extended rest is just what he needed before making his return to the floor at Madison Square Garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Booker and the <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/phoenix-suns\/devin-booker-reveals-what-sparked-suns-gritty-win-vs-knicks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Suns beat the Knicks 112-107<\/a> at home last Friday. Booker led with 31 points on 10-of-23 shooting, including 4-of-6 from deep, eight assists, three rebounds, and one steal in one of his better performances of the season. Booker is having another All-Star season, averaging 25.2 points on 45.4% shooting, 6.5 assists, and 4.1 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Booker has eclipsed the 30-point threshold 12 times this season, including a 33-point gem in a 129-102 win against the Kings in early January. The Suns have won three of their last five games. A win at Madison Square Garden after beating the Knicks on their own home floor would give the Suns significant momentum.<\/p>\n<p>However, when it comes to whether Devin Booker is playing tonight against the Knicks, the answer is maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Phoenix Suns visit the New York Knicks on Saturday night.
