Devin Booker drops 43 points in Suns win over Warriors

Fantasy basketball: Booker exploded for 43 points on Saturday, but the performance came on his usual minutes and shot volume, making it one game worth holding…

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 25, 2026

Devin Booker posted 43 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and two threes on 17-of-25 shooting and 7-of-8 from the line over 36 minutes as a starter on Saturday, October 24 in the Suns' 131-122 victory over the Warriors.

The explosive scoring night came well above his 26.1 points last season (64 games), but Booker played his normal 33.5 minutes and took only slightly more shots than usual. The 67.8 per cent true shooting on 28.3 per cent usage fuelled 60.9 fantasy points (default scoring), making him a nine-category and points-league asset who remains a hold until his role changes.

Devin Booker

Booker's 43-point game brought his season total to 33.0 points per game through two games, but the production arrived without expanded minutes or an unusual workload. His 36 minutes and 25 field-goal attempts fell within his normal range, and his 28.3 per cent usage rate mirrored last season's pattern. The 67.8 per cent true shooting reflected elite efficiency rather than a sustainable shift in volume.

The Suns have no games left this week and zero scheduled next week, giving managers time to assess whether Booker's early scoring surge signals anything beyond variance. His 1.59 nine-category value and 38.4 projected fantasy points (default scoring) keep him rostered across all formats. Phoenix has no games remaining this week.

What to do

• Hold Devin Booker in all formats and wait to see if his elevated scoring continues when Phoenix returns to action.

• Do not chase the 43-point game with trade offers until his role shows sustained changes in minutes or usage.

• Monitor Booker's next outing to determine whether the scoring spike reflects genuine improvement or one hot night.
