Portland Trail Blazers Top Performers:
DeAndre Ayton 25 PTS | 7-8 FT | 20 REB | 58.0 FPS
DominAyton has been a man on a mission, leading his team to back-to-back wins against his former squad. He’s now dropped 20+ points with elite shooting in four straight games while averaging 12.3 rebounds and solid stocks since returning from injury.
Deni Avdija 24 PTS | 8 REB | 5 AST | 40.1 FPS
Avdija snapped out of his two-game slump with a strong all-around showing. His efficient shooting was a boost, though struggles from deep and the line still linger. Despite that, he’s been a steady force in scoring, rebounding, and playmaking, all while maintaining his strong defensive impact.
Toumani Camara 17 PTS | 5-7 3PT | 5 REB | 29.5 FPS
Camara has been a consistent force in recent weeks, impacting multiple categories. His offensive game has also shown a huge improvement, highlighted by elite shooting from the field and a growing game from three. With this momentum and all the potential trades, his stock is poised to rise the rest of the season.
Scoot Henderson 15 PTS | 6 AST | 1 STL | 27.4 FPS
Henderson’s role has been up-and-down recently, impacting his scoring but not his playmaking and defensive contributions. With the team expected to make moves at the deadline, he’s likely to see a bigger role moving forward.
Jerami Grant 14 PTS | 5 REB | 4 AST | 25.0 FPS
Grant has had a tough year with his shooting, but his ability to contribute on both ends of the floor, along with a potential move that could ignite a turnaround, makes him worth holding.
Phoenix Suns Top Performers:
Kevin Durant 27 PTS | 5 REB | 5 AST | 45.5 FPS
Durant found his groove again after slowing down in his last two games. He posted his lowest scoring outputs of the month in that stretch, with his overall impact going up-and-down, but not his defensive stats. While he had a stronger performance today, his struggles from long-range continue.
Bradley Beal 25 PTS | 5 REB | 3 STL | 44.5 FPS
Beal’s offensive game and ability to contribute across multiple categories make him a valuable asset, but inconsistency has been an issue lately. Though he can definitely turn things around with a potential move.
Devin Booker 34 PTS | 13-14 FT | 4 AST | 42.6 FPS
Booker has consistently delivered strong value, dropping 30+ points on elite shooting in three-consecutive outings. He’s been exceptional at the line, hitting 13-of-14 in back-to-back games. But his overall contributions have shown a noticeable dip compared to last week.
Royce O’Neale 14 PTS | 4-7 3PT | 4 STL | 37.3 FPS
O’Neale’s initial success has faded since moving to the bench, but his ability to contribute in both three-point shooting and defense remains undeniable. He will be a must-roster if he continues to perform at this level.
Mason Plumlee 6 PTS | 12 REB | 4 AST | 25.4 FPS
Plumlee has been solid defensively over a recent five-game stretch but has recorded zero stocks in his last two games. Despite that, his rebounding has remained steady, all while playing limited minutes.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Anfernee Simons 13 PTS | 10 AST | 3 TO
Simons has struggled mightily in four of his last five games but has bounced back with strong assist numbers in his last two. With his name circulating in trade rumors, a potential move could have a major impact on his game.
