The Suns currently have a record of 7 wins and 5 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference.
After bidding farewell to the Big Three lineup in the offseason, Booker led the team alone, and was looked down upon with 1 win and 4 losses, but then the team ushered in a recovery, and Booker averaged 28.2 points and 7 assists per game. With Jaylen Green still recovering from injury, Booker shouldered the heavy responsibility, but Allen and Dillon around him also made steady contributions. In addition, the Suns are still very powerful in terms of outside shooting this season, averaging 16.3 three-pointers per game and shooting 38.6%. Once the three-pointers are opened, they have a great chance of winning.

After experiencing a 5-game losing streak at the beginning and defeating the Warriors, they fell into another losing streak. In the last game, they suffered a 128-152 defeat to the Jazz and suffered another 5-game losing streak.
