Suns' Devin Booker: Out Tuesday vs. Kings

Booker will not play during Tuesday's tilt against the Kings, presumably for rest purposes, John Gambadoro of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Analysis:

Coach Earl Watson likely doesn't want to risk his young scorer suffering an injury during the final game of the season considering the Suns claim one of the worst records in the league and are probably hoping the NBA Draft Lottery balls bounce their way. Booker will finish his sophomore season averaging 22.1 points, 3.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds across 35.0 minutes per game while shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from long range. In his stead, expect Elijah Millsap to absorb a significant workload at the shooting guard slot.
