The Phoenix Suns will be without guard Devin Booker for the third consecutive game. Booker, who suffered a hip injury last week, is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

In his absence, Elfrid Payton should see significant minutes tonight in his Suns' debut. While he isn't a great scoring option, he could reach 10-plus points and eight-plus assists given the minutes he should play.
