Devin Booker Has NBA Fans in Awe as Kevin Durant, Suns Beat Zion Williamson, Pelicans

Andrew PetersJan 19, 2024

Devin Booker was feeling it on Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Phoenix Suns' guard was unstoppable, dropping 52 points on 18-of-30 from the field as the Suns cruised to a 123-109 win over the Pelicans on the road. The game marked his sixth 50-point regular-season game of his career and his 27th 40-point game. Booker also scored 20+ points in two different quarters in Friday night's game.

Booker has taken a backseat as the Suns' top scorer since Kevin Durant joined the team, but Friday was just another example of how Booker can catch fire on any given night.

Booker's huge scoring outburst had social media in awe on Friday night.

Booker continues to establish himself as one of the best scorers in the NBA with performances like Friday's, and Suns fans know they can count on a big game from him on any given night.

Phoenix has managed to crawl back into the playoff picture after a shaky start and it now sits in eighth place in the Western Conference at 23-18. The Suns will continue to improve as the season goes on if Booker keeps posting big performances.
