Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker suffered a right groin strain earlier this month, and he’s set to miss his second game in a row on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n
Booker has been ruled out for that matchup as he’s set to re-evaluated on Wednesday, one week from when he suffered the injury. That gives Booker a chance to return for the team’s NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, although it may be unlikely that he returns that quickly. <\/p>\n
Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has sustained a right groin strain and will be re-evaluated in one week, sources tell ESPN. Best case for Booker and the Suns, who are a surprise 13-9 and in the West playoff picture so far this season.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) December 3, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Booker and the Suns are off to a strong start in the 2025-26 season, winning 13 of their first 23 games while sitting in the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n Phoenix did come up short without Booker on Dec. 5, scoring just 98 points in a blowout loss to the Houston Rockets.<\/p>\n This season, Booker is averaging 25.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 31.5 percent from 3-point range. He’s cooled off as a scorer after a strong month of October, but the Suns star is still the team’s clear No. 1 option on offense. <\/p>\n With Booker out, here’s a look at my favorite prop bet for this Western Conference battle on Monday night. <\/p>\n Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.<\/a><\/p>\n Suns Team Total UNDER 106.5 (-115)<\/p>\n The Suns struggled offensively without Booker against the Rockets, scoring just 98 points, and now they may not have their top three scoring options in this game.<\/p>\n Booker and Jalen Green have both been ruled out while wing Dillon Brooker (Achilles) is listed as questionable. That puts the Suns in a tough spot, as they’ll be relying heavily on Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie and Mark Williams to carry this offense.<\/p>\n This season, the Suns are just 17th in the NBA in offensive rating on the road (and that’s mainly with Booker), so I wouldn’t expect a huge offensive showing with so many key players out. Minnesota also ranks 11th in defensive rating overall and seventh in defensive rating at home.<\/p>\n The Wolves are allowing 115.0 points per game this season, but they did hold the Los Angeles Clippers under this number in their last game. With Booker out, I wouldn’t be shocked if the Suns offense struggles on Monday night. <\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest\u00a0DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
