The Phoenix Suns have dropped their last three games, all on the road, after winning their season opener at home.

Devin Booker called out the Suns’ slow starts after their 138-134 loss to the Jazz, saying Phoenix “needed this one."

However, if Green remains out, the Suns might need to shuffle around their starting lineup and give a look to Collin Gillespie, who was a team-high plus-19 off the bench and recorded his first-career double-double in 15 points and 13 assists, playing 32 minutes, which included all but one minute in the fourth quarter and overtime.

Lauri Markkanen scored a career-high 51 points, the first Jazz player to reach 50 in the regular season since Karl Malone in 1998, and Utah beat the Phoenix Suns 138-134 in overtime on Monday night.

After the Suns’ loss to the Jazz, Devin Booker praised Mark Williams’ energy and effort, saying the young center was “all over the place” and giving Phoenix a spark inside.

A mock trade has the Phoenix Suns sending Grayson Allen and Nick Richards to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for a former lottery pick.

Though it's extremely early in the season, the Suns' 111 points per game ranks bottom five in the NBA while they have the worst point differential in the league at -15.

The Utah Jazz played 2,155 regular season games since Karl Malone scored 56 points in awin over Golden State on April 7, 1998. No Jazz player had topped the 50-point mark until Lauri Markkanen scored a career-high 51 in a 138-134 win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.

In Saturday’s loss to Denver, Devin Booker led the way for Phoenix as he ended the game with 31 points and seven rebounds while Grayson Allen added 17 points, four rebounds and five assists of his own. Now the Suns will try to end their two-game losing skid on Monday night on the road as they travel to face the Jazz.
