SG—Devin Booker ($5,600)

With all of the injuries in the Phoenix Suns backcourt (and really throughout the entire roster), there was a brief time about a week ago when it looked like both Devin Booker and Archie Goodwin were going to be tremendous fantasy sleepers for the foreseeable future. However, Goodwin has trailed off and gone cold over the past few games, which has left Booker shining both in terms of his actual performance and his fantasy value, which should continue against the Toronto Raptors.

Booker has really been one of the best stories in the NBA this season as he’s carved out a role for himself in just his rookie season. The young guard has been tearing it up lately, scoring 26.5 fantasy point or more in DraftKings scoring in six out of his last seven games and over 23 fantasy points in each of those seven games. Moreover, three of those seven games have seen Booker put up at least 33.25 fantasy points. He’s playing a huge role in the Phoenix rotation and producing in that role.

While the Raptors aren’t the greatest matchup, Booker has been relatively matchup proof since assuming this larger role for the Suns. I don’t see that stopping on Tuesday and see him coming up with a big fantasy night once again.
