Devin Booker - Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns have been among the basement dwellers of the NBA this season, but also had a stretch where Devin Booker was hurt. He's back now and put up 38 points, seven rebounds, and two assists in New York. That helped the Suns defeat the Knicks 128-110 on the road. Don't look now, but Phoenix is on a three-game win streak.
