It’s been weeks since any team has been able to figure out a way to slow down Phoenix Suns stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
Durant and Booker have been tormenting opponents, and the duo will try to keep rolling on Monday when Phoenix collides with the host Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Suns have caught fire in the wake of a four-game losing streak that bridged December and January, going 6-2 in their past eight games. Durant has put up 26.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game during that strong stretch, while Booker has averaged 30.0 points, 4.5 boards and 7.1 assists.
Even though Durant finished with a game-high 36 points and Booker supplied 35 in a 125-121 win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday, it was backup big man Nick Richards who stole the spotlight.
Richards collected 21 points and 11 rebounds in his Phoenix debut after being acquired in a trade with the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Based off that initial performance, Booker is eager to see what else the 27-year-old can bring to the Suns’ bench.
“Nick was incredible. He was catching, he was finishing. He was rebounding. For his first game, playing in the right spacing, too. Getting looks in that dunker catching and finishing,” Booker said. “That was a big pickup for us. It showed (Saturday).”
Richards could get some more run on Monday if Jusuf Nurkic isn’t able to play. Nurkic is dealing with an illness and has missed the past six games. Phoenix has also been without Bradley Beal, who is nursing a sprained left ankle.
