Suns
Durant: A 35-year-old veteran, he can still wield the death sickle and reap the game, Durant proves that he is not the sunset, and a healthy Durant can still hold up a piece of the sky for the sun with one hand. In this game, Durant shot 8 of 22 from the field, scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, with a personal efficiency value of 21 and a win-loss value of -12 on the court!

Booker: Booker, who eats and sleeps and plays the Pelicans, will surprise Suns fans every time he plays against the Pelicans! In this game, Booker failed to perform a miracle again, shooting 8 of 13, scoring 23 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal, with an efficiency value of 28 and a personal win-loss value of -6!
Booker
Beal: Beal seems to have found a way to accommodate Durant and Booker, and as long as he helps the team win consistently, Beal can sacrifice his personal data. In this game, Beal played efficiently, shooting 13 of 19 from the field, scoring 33 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, with an efficiency value of 28 and a win-loss value of -9!

Alan
Nurkic: After entering Ramadan, Nurkic, who was weak, finally hardened himself when facing Gobert and Reed of the Timberwolves in the last game, scoring 11 points and 15 rebounds in the whole game, beating Gobert's 4 points and 6 rebounds and Reed's 8 points and 11 rebounds, and made a great contribution to the team's victory! In this game, Nurkic played 28 minutes, scored 6 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, with an efficiency value of 12 and a team win and loss value of +2!

Royce O'Neal: O'Neal's performance has been slow to meet expectations since joining the Suns, and the 30-year-old veteran is in desperate need of a new set of shooting skills. In this game, O'Neal shot 0 of 2, only got 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, the efficiency value on the court was 4, and the personal win and loss value was -1!
Yves O'Neill
Bol Bol: Known as the original "Wembanyama", Bol Bol, although he does not have the trust of coach Vogel, may become the Suns' wonder man in the playoffs. In this game, Bol played 8 minutes, made 1 of 2 shots, contributed 2 points and 2 rebounds, had an efficiency value of 3, and a win-loss value of -8!
Pol Pol
Gordon: In addition to the well-known Rockets and Clippers career by fans, Gordon has actually been with the Pelicans for more than 4 seasons, facing the Pelicans in this game, Gordon is also against the old master, Gordon shot 2 of 5 from the field, scored 5 points and 2 assists, efficiency value 4, personal win and loss value +6!
Gordon
In the Wild West, the competition is getting worse and worse, and next, the Suns will face consecutive matches with the Clippers, the outcome is really unpredictable, and I hope that in the devil's schedule that is not favored, the Suns can turn themselves into devils and continue to reap the victory.
