Suns' Devin Booker: Might be rested Tuesday

Booker may be rested for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

With the Suns careening toward the lottery, it wouldn't be a surprise if they opt to rest Booker, who recently got over an ankle injury. That said, the team has yet to comment on the "rumor" -- in the words of Vivlamore -- that Booker might be rested. Until the Suns confirm, Booker should be expected to play, but his status is certainly something to monitor as tip off approaches. The 20-year-old recently followed up his sensational 70-point outing against the Celtics on Friday with a 23-point, five-assist effort in Sunday's loss to the Hornets.
