Deandre Ayton is the Suns’ prized rookie 7-footer and No. 1 overall pick, but two other Phoenix rookies have been playing at a career-high level lately.
Mikal Bridges posted his first 20-point game while Elie Okobo reached double figures in assists for the first time in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks, but that’s just their latest effort in a run of standout play.
Bridges has averaged 17.6 points per game over the previous three games heading into Monday’s tilt with the Rockets, while connecting on 11-of-18 shots from 3-point range.
“Just being in the gym more, working on my game a little bit more,” Bridges said.
