Devin Booker has 2,981 career rebounds and 3,929 career assists, and this season's pace puts both milestones inside the next month or so. The milestones are modest company for a 1-3 team with a 125.8 defensive rating.
The rebound mark. Booker has 2,981 career rebounds, 19 shy of 3,000. He is pulling down 3.8 a game this season across four games, which projects to about six games. That is a projection at the current pace, and four games is a thin sample.
The assist mark. His 3,929 career assists leave 71 to reach 4,000. At this season's 5.3 a game, that is about 14 games at the current pace. It sits well beyond the five games on the schedule through November 9.
A steal on Monday. Jordan Goodwin has 249 career steals, one from 250, and averages 1.8 a game this season. By that pace, about one game. He also has 227 career threes, 23 from 250, roughly 11 games out at 2.3 a game.
Minutes already lost. By our count, Phoenix has lost 367 minutes to injury since opening night, which makes it the 18th most hurt club of 30. Mark Williams, at 23.6 minutes a game, accounts for the 24 minutes out today.
What day-to-day meant. The one Suns player newly listed day-to-day this season missed the next game, 1 of 1. League-wide, 65 of 112 such players sat, or 58 percent. One case is too small to read, and Oso Ighodaro is cleared now.
The scoreboard problem. Booker is at 22.3 points a game and 31.3 percent from three over four games, and he scored 43 against these same Warriors on October 24. The team is 1-3, with a 125.8 defensive rating. Milestones will arrive; the record needs help.
